July 11, 2008 |
Corinthian
Yacht Club |
|
This is our one "overnight" race of
the season. It counts towards the MBSA Season
Championship, with your points multiplied by 1.25.
We will be starting out by The Graves outside of
Boston Harbor on Friday Evening around 7:00 PM, and
will then sail one of several possible courses
(depending upon conditions) which range in length
from 50 to 125 nautical miles. The goal will be for
a Saturday afternoon finish off of Marblehead.
Everyone should be at Lewis Wharf
ready to leave the dock at 5 PM. The race will
finish in Marblehead, and it is possible that at the
finish I will immediately turn the boat towards
Boston to put her away before heading up to
Marblehead for the party at the Corinthian. Or maybe
not, depends on the timing and conditions and the
such. More details to follow...
Unlike a traditional short race
where there are fixed positions, we will be breaking
the six crew on for the race up into three teams. We
will all be on deck to start the race, but by 10 PM
the first two crew will be off for two hours (trying
to get a power nap), then the next two will be off
from midnight until 2 AM, then the next two from 2
AM until 4 AM, and so on. The teams are as follows:
Team A - Tim O'Dea/Karen Stelle
Team B - Jim Murphy/Maureen Boyle
Team Z - Chris Zibailo/Kathryn Carlson
There will be plenty of water,
coffee and beer (for AFTER the race) on the boat,
bring any sort of snack you may want for yourself.
Remember, this is planned to be a 14-18 HOUR race,
not a 4-8 DAY race, so don't buy everything at BJ's
Wholesale club! There are a couple of pillows and
sleeping bags on the boat already, so no need to
bring a bedroll.
I will send more details out after
the skipper's meeting, which is Thursday night at
the Scituate Harbor Yacht Club...

Manchester

Sponsored by the Manchester Yacht
Club and the Manchester Harbor Boat Club, this is
the first of four "pursuit" races we will be
competing in this year, although I believe this is
more of a distance race. The course is a triangular
windward-leeward course of 20-30 miles using Gales
Ledge buoy, Eastern Point whistle and Newcombs Ledge
whistle as marks of the course. After the race there
is a party at Manchester Yacht Club. Info will be
posted on this race after June 1 at
http://www.sscrockerrace.com.
The start time for Class B may be
as early as 10:15 AM, so be at the Manchester Yacht Club at 9:00
AM ready to go.

Sadly, this is one of those events
with no after-regatta party, as the awards are
incorporated into the Mass Bay awards dinner in
November. But that doesn't mean we can't have a cold
beverage or two at the sail loft when it is all
over!

Boston
Yacht Club |

This is a pursuit race (and a Mass
Bay Pursuit Race qualifier), with two divisions,
racing (spinnaker) and cruising (JAM). Take a wild
guess which division we are in! The first warning
signal is at 11:55 AM with the first (slowest) boat
starting at noon. Last year the course was just six
miles, so Superstition started at 12:23:06, and
finished less than and hour later. This year we are
hoping for a longer course.
So, everyone please meet that the Boston at 10:30
AM. We will bring the boat up from Boston, leaving
Lewis Wharf at 7:30 AM. Chowder and hot dogs will be
served at the Yacht Club when we get back in, and
the grill will be open as well.

At least two races scheduled, with
a VERY EARLY 10:00 AM start for the first race. The
boat will leave Boston at 5:30 AM, and should be at
the Jubilee at 9:00 AM. Be ready and on the dock, as
it is likely I will do a touch and go to pick up all
crew members.
There is always a great party
afterwards with free food and drink. This is a BIG
RACE as it is a qualifier for Mass Bay, Salem and
Marblehead Championships, so as someone once said
"Go big or go home!!!"

Driver - Steve Spangler
Main Trimmer - Becca Reger (tentative)
Jib Trimmer - Kathryn Carlson

Two races scheduled, with a rendezvous
time at Hospital Shoal of 11AM. So the plan is for everyone
to meet at Lewis Wharf around 9:30 AM, so we can be off the
dock at 9:45 AM heading out to the harbor islands. The
racing usually takes place in the area of Rainsford Island,
the RC will lead us to the area they will be using that day.
The race is sponsored by the Wessagussett
Yacht Club of North Weymouth. They are down on the south
shore, not too far from the Hungham Yacht Club. The plan
after the race is to head back to the dock at Lewis Wharf, I
would expect us back there by 4 PM at the very latest. Then,
anyone who wants to attend the awards ceremony at WYC is
welcome to drive on down. Driver - Steve Spangler

a nice get-together at the MYC and then the awards
