You missed Texas Race Week?  You can't get enough sailing? Counting the days to the weekend?

Rum Race #5 is Saturday (7/31)

Fly your class flags, and the Club Handcappers: a reminder to write down your finish times, it makes RC duty alot easier  

GBCA Club Handicap (Orange Flag)   
PHRF Spin (white flag)
PHRF Non-spin (dark flag) and the
Shorthanded class (white over dark flag)

Print your sailing instructions and keep them handy.

Awards at the GBCA Clubhouse after the racing...oh, and don't forget...winners share in their liquid winnings  

If you miss Rum Race #5 the other dates are:

August 14, August 28, September 4

Your hosts are Corrie and Jody.
As always, volunteer help is appreciated.

Thanks. Made the corrections above.
It's part of the territory with free, self governed and non committeed event.  

I might add that it's ok to PM us also (that's Personal Message in IT lingo)...
The messaging feature works quite well on this discussion page.

Great shots btw.
Pic 5420. Ouch. What happened to Tom's main on such a light night!?
