Series awards will be given out this Saturday at the party.

Will Stinker make a run at Hamburger?
Does Tenacious have the tenacity to pass Big D?
Will Rafael join GBCA in time to collect a prize?
Will Greg be gladdened by capturing a bottle of rum, a series championship AND the G Dock golden fender in one race?
Here are the current standings:

Alas, the 105?s otherwise committed the final given Saturday, allows untold possibilities for a shake up in the Spinnaker standings. 

Same could be said for GBCA membership in producing rewards for the other classes.

The final Icicle Race of 2012, also Judge Smails Regatta, is tomorrow March 10th. So get your ascots, blazers and yachty caps on. Dogs on the grill at the club house afterwards for social and series awards. Come on down!

Weather reports 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms for tomorrows Icicle race. The Icicle races are purely voluntary, therefore there is no Race Committee to make an abandonment decision. Per the SI?s RRS 4 is in effect. ?Decision to Race ? The responsibility for a boat?s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.?

Even if you don't race, come on down to the social and awards.
