2015 Icicle Races

[Charles]

  OK,  I'll start the discussion about adding an hour to the Icicle race time.  For those of us that have lived here for more then  a few years know that the wind in January, blows in cycles. One day 20+ kts. one day 5 to 15 kts. and one day calm,  back to 5 to 15 and so on. Anyway for this reason it wouldn't hurt to add an hour when we hit one of of those calm days during the Icicle. I don't care if we start an hour earlier or extend the cutoff time an hour.       
  It could help the after party, by having more winners rum handed out vs just one or two bottles  when less boats time out.
  I would like to see the time limit extended for next weeks Judge Smails Regatta, but if not, it needs consideration for next year.   

I don't have a problem with extending the cutoff time by an hour.

I've consulted with the Board and we agree.
For the last Icicle race, the cut off time will be 4:00pm. The Sailing Instructions have been amended.
See you Saturday!

Wind was a little too much for Flying Kiss but was able to secure a ride on Bad Girl. Here are a few photos from the second leg. The Melges was hauling it! https://www.flickr.com/photos/lacyphotos/albums/72157661796754324

Wildcard finished I front of $iphon on the last race.

  I am not trying to change the awards, but I think the Non-Spin  results may not be correct. I was on Bad Girl and we finished 3 to 4 boat lengths ahead of Wild Card.
  Anyway it was a fun day to be on the water.
