In 2024 we have two series of races and a special Pig Regatta.
For the spring and fall series, best 6 out of 10 for each individual series, and best 12 of 20 for the Club Championship. Each series will have a make up day at the end of each series. Each race will have a skippers meeting at 12pm at the Hanna Creek Docks followed by race start at 1pm
Each race will need volunteer(s) to setup the course and run the committee boat/manage the races. For those interested in volunteering there will be impromptu training available at socials. If you are interested in volunteering to help let us know!
We had four boats participating in two short races as the front moved in on Sunday. There was moderate wind and some rain at the very end. Walter Frank (longtime member) and Dan CaJacob provided committee duty. Congratulations to Bill Settle and crew for taking first place in both races. I think we all had a great time!
Decent wind allowed two races to happen today. No committee boat required since it was a pursuit race. The course started from just outside the no wake zone just north of Hanna, and the South marker was the first Kent’s Harbor no wake buoy.
Thanks to all who participated in yesterday’s first Fall series races. The wind was light for the first race but built up to 10-12 knots by the third. Yes, we were able to get 3 races in. So we have one in the bank in case we have light wind race days later in the series. I think I speak for all when I say that we had a great time. Special thanks to the crewing guest appearances, including Steve Tacy, Steve Milby, John Doerner, and Guy Hemmer!
Also many thanks to Patty and Bill Beglin for their excellent performance as Race Committee! Participating boats included Patty Anne (Dan and Heidi Loughran with visiting relatives as crew), Lady Di (Pat Burke with his brother in law as crew and mentored by a very experienced racer, Guy Hemmer), Red (Bill Settle with Steve Tacy as crew), and Isabel (Dan CaJacob with Steve Milby and John Doerner as crew). Results will be posted soon. Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone for the last minute race day change. Fair winds!
Today it looked like we would have 7 boats trying to finish out the seaon with a bank. Forecast was looking decent for wind. As Sunday came around the forecast had some chances of storms and only 4 showed up. During race one someone noticed a nasty line of storms heading across the region and it was decided to just have one more race for the day. Everyone made it home without any incident even though the weather, yet again cut the day short.
Today there was plenty of wind but only 2 boats could make it and race. With just two boats we kept it simple and scored finish position, pretty hard to compete with the J70 on flat water and lots of wind
