Hi Kat,

This event should be really fun!

I would like to point out that there are two Cruising Fleet Club Champions,
one in the Spinnaker Division and one in the Non-Spinnaker Division. Your
e-mail below references that only one team from the Cruising Fleet will
compete, and I'm hoping you might change that to include both Fleets.

Also, the Notice of Race (The 1st Annual Champion of Champions Regatta) 3.1
Eligibility states "The skipper must be a 2018 one-design Nyack Boat Club
Champion".  Could we please add ".2018 one-design or Cruising Fleet Nyack
Boat Club Champion".

In the Sailing Instructions, 15.2 Time Limits - "Any boat that has not
finished within 1 hour of the first finisher.". I would think in the
interest of fitting in many races, you might want to reduce the time limit
for a TLE to 30 minutes after the first finisher.

Did the Laser Fleet decide not to compete because they are a single-handed
boat?

Lastly, I am pleased that you included the Course F race course option, but
I was curious if all boats must cross the starting line after the first lap
of the course?

Thanks for doing this! It should be a great day.

Dear NBC members,

It is my pleasure to announce a Champion and Champions regatta happening
Sunday May 26th, 2019 in Sonars at NBC! As most of you know a Champion of
Champions regatta requires that the previous season's fleet winners will
race against the other fleet's season winners in a chosen one design boat.
This year that boat will be the Sonars (Thank you Sonar fleet!).

Five teams, one from each of the following fleets will compete; Ensign,
Sonar, Thistle, Lightning & Cruising. A team made up of 1 skipper and 1-2
crew will rotate between boats after each race in a round robin format
(exceptions will be made for skippers with different physical requirements).
Each Sonar will have a boat owner present or elected representative which
will stay on that boat for the entire race. Attached is the notice of race
with more details in regard to registration, damage deposit etc.

Since this is our first year running this event I would ask each
participating fleet to contribute $10 for their champion as getting a
perpetual trophy has been costly. Start talking to your fleets and get your
team together where the 1st place season winner is the first choice, then
the 2nd place winner and so on. I am the chair for this event so any
questions you can email me (Katesswein@gmail.com)

Thank you!

Hi Lee and Cruising fleet!

I am glad you are excited about this event. Unfortunately, we only have 5 Sonars available (Thank you Sonars!!!). Therefore we had to choose just one cruising team to represent the cruising fleet. I will leave that up to your fleet but just FYI we will be racing with spinnakers. In years down the road if we can have more boats available and maybe use the Ideals we can open this up more. As you mentioned we don’t have a boat available to the laser fleet. I have spoken with them and they are okay with this given that most laser sailors are also a part of another fleet. Again I am aware this event will not be perfect the first time but we can continue to improve it as the years go on! 😊

I will edit the NOR as per your suggestion thank you for that!

In regard to the Sis I was just using the club ones and modifying them for this race. We can talk about that at the Skippers meeting but to address your question now on course F the boats do not have to go through the start finish line but they have the option to as there is only one fleet racing. Starting finish line is open. I can try to edit the course F diagram so that the second lap doesn’t go through the start finish line.

Thanks for your input.

Kat
