Rum Race #6 2010: August 14th

[ChrisK]

Rum Race #6 is this Saturday (8/14)
It's the only way to beat the heat!

A friendly reminder to fly your class flags:
GBCA Club Handicap (Orange Flag)  
PHRF Spin (White flag)
PHRF Non-spin (dark flag) and the
Shorthanded (SOS) class (White over dark flag)

If you want to try shorthanded, this event would make a nice practice run for the GBCA Single/Mixed Doubles August 21 and 22.
Otherwise, bring a newbie along and introduce them to our fine sport!

Bring the crew over for awards at the GBCA Clubhouse after the racing.
Winners share in their liquid winnings!  

If you miss Rum Race #6 the other dates (only two more!):
August 28, September 4

Your lovely hosts this week are Vicky and Beverly.
As always, volunteer help with setup and cleanup is appreciated!

If Rum Race 6 is this Saturday.  When will the GBCA super computer be activated to adjust the PHRF'S from the last race? Inquiring minds want to know!

Tramp got out there just a little late but did manage to get some pictures!  Didn't make it to the party since we found a cold bottle of champagne on our brother's boat

As usual, spectacular shots John.  Absolutely spectacular.  I really like those of a certain red and white A-Kite.
