Question:  Will mark ?Y? be in the water before the starting sequence and will its coordinates be broadcast?

Answer: Mark ?Y? will be dropped to form a windward-leeward leg between it and mark ?O?.  It is likely that it will not be dropped before the start sequence.  The race committee will attempt to broadcast the approximate bearing and distance from ?O? to ?Y? on VHF channel 69.  Lat/Lon coordinates for mark ?Y? will not be broadcast.

Fixed.  All the links open in a new window as well.  I should have the sandwich info soon.  I'm hungry for a "Lucia" right now...

Yes sir.  For the third year, New York Pizzeria will be the official sandwich (and giant  28" pizza) provider of TRW.  We'll have the order form online before the skipper's meeting.  You don't have to be at the meeting to order.  You will send it and CC info directly to them and food will be delivered to GYC each morning.

Preliminary SI and other documents are available from the Official Notice Board:

Since the HYC offshore race was cancelled before the entry deadline, there is a possibility that boats planning to enter in order to accumulate points toward the Texas Navy Cup could have been materially prejudiced.  The series scoring for the Texas Navy Cup this year has been changed to the following:

?The Texas Navy Cup will be awarded to the PHRF Spinnaker yacht with the lowest PHRF fleet score combining all races of the GBCA Texas Race Week and the LYC Heald Bank race (PHRF Fleet).  Yachts that did not participate in the LYC race shall have the score of 7 (LYC PHRF Fleet+1) added for purposes of Texas Navy Cup scoring.  The highest score of the combined series shall be excluded.?

The above will be included in the SI.  A preliminary version will be available online before the skipper?s meeting.

Only one way to get a free full-size, high-res print of the "Big Wave".  Complete your registration by next Tuesday. 


Special thanks to Mrs. Tanya Reed for this awesome creation.

All boats are finished.  The scene in the port is too big to describe here.  The big winner yesterday was Texas Ranger.  The Sol beer girls filmed an ad on the boat.  Here's a little taste of "Sol"...
