Great job RC and great to be back on the water. 8 is back Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 18, 2020, at 11:12 AM, Tony Martin afmartin--- via Members <members@maillist.nyackboatclub.org> wrote: > >  > When you look at the NBC bulkhead, there appears to be many tasks remaining before sailing starts in Nyack.

With the RC boat not yet launched, they ably ran the race from a patrol boat. This was a practice race and won't count for our 2020 Wednesday Night Series. Since the restrictions around the bridge have been lifted, we've returned to fixed-mark courses we had in place over five years ago. Marks are further south, in particular "A" and "B" (the northwest marks) are out from the shadow of Hook Mountain, in what are now unfamiliar locations. > > Launch service was prompt, and everyone observed the new restrictions, with quite a few boats at the docks to embark/disembark crew and provisions. > > A beautiful night for a race, with SE winds blowing 10 to 12 kts at the 6:30 start and a flooding current. We had three Spinnaker division competitors, and five Non-Spinnaker. The RC started both division together, with the first signal promptly at 6:30 p.m. We raced course #10 -- to windward mark Gov't #8 by the TZ Marina, and then to leeward mark "A" for Spinnaker, and "B" for Non-Spinnaker. A few skippers struggled to find the leeward marks, but all but two completed the entire course within 75 minutes. > > Everyone agreed that having a "practice" race was an opportunity to shake off the cobwebs, apply the season's SIs, and get ready for the real thing next week. > > Hope to see more of you on the course Wednesday, June 24th, 6:30 p.m. start. > -- Tony Martin, Cruising Fleet Scoring > > RESULTS > Date Day Type of Race Spin/Non-Spin Division Race Number Comment > 06-17-2020 -Wednesday- Wed Night NBC Spinnaker S1 1 > NOT SERIES > RC > Shoemaker, Rishi > Course > ToT= Elapsed Time* 650/(550+PHRF) > Conditions SE 10-12 kts 10 > Start Time Corrected Time > 93139 Hee Soo 105 18:35:00.0 19:33:00.0 0:58:00.0 0:57:33.4 1 > 12069 Imagine More 183 18:35:00.0 19:41:12.0 1:06:12.0 0:58:42.2 2 > 53499 The Office 123 18:35:00.0 19:37:03.0 1:02:03.0 0:59:55.8 3 > > 06-17-2020 -Wednesday- Wed Night NBC Non-spinnaker N1 1 > NOT SERIES > RC > Shoemaker, Rishi > Course > ToT= Elapsed Time* 650/(550+PHRF) > Conditions SE 10-12 kts 10 > Start Time Corrected Time > Sail # Competitors PHRF 18:35:00.0 Finish Time Elapsed Time PHRF ToT Rank > 12500 Celertiy 174 DNF > 51362 Cymothoe 135 18:35:00.0 19:28:55.0 0:53:55.0 0:51:09.7 3 > 2594 Golden Hind 207 DNF > 212 Sheba 177 18:35:00.0 19:29:33.0 0:54:33.0 0:48:46.3 1 > 484 Spectra 141 18:35:00.0 19:27:11.0 0:52:11.0 0:49:05.2 2 > > > _______________________________________________ > Members mailing list > Members@maillist.nyackboatclub.org > > To manage your subscription or unsubscribe: > http://maillist.nyackboatclub.org/mailman/listinfo/members_maillist.nyackboatclub.org
