GBCA Discussion Forum

I'm on race committee - awesome racing - I am also having a great time calling the start...

Sailing Instructions are online. There is a link on the NOR, or follow this link.....

Sailing Instructions
Sailing instructions will be available at the GBCA office after 1900 Friday, April 9th and at http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubs/gbca.html.

Congratulations to Tom Sutton for winning the $50 West Marine Gift Certificate at the Skipper's meeting tonight.

R/C will have options to run either W/L or fixed marks depending on the wind conditions. Our main goal is to have you race and not sit out on your boats and not race. For example, during the frostbite we sent the spin boats on a fixed mark course due to major windshifts, lack of time, alot of wind and no wind (basically not so friendly R/C conditions), so they would at least be able to race. I feel this weekend, the courses will be windward/leeward, but I want to keep my options open. The courses will be described in the Sailing Instructions that will be available at the skippers meeting on April 9th.

Hope to see you out there!

Hi all! I am Leigh Ann Hawboldt and for those who do not know me, I am the Fleet Captain of GBCA for 2010. As you all know Jim Powers and company did a great job the last couple of years (Jim would you like your job back?) but I have heard through the grapevine that they want to race this year - go figure!!!

Anyway, I am looking to get a list of names and numbers for those of you that would like to help out with race committee. If you volunteer you are not committing for all of the races, but if you could help out with one or two or all of the events - that would be great. Remember - giving back to your sport, etc, etc. Also if you know someone who does not race and would like to help - they could also get involved!!! Our first event is the Frostbite Regatta on February 20-21.

So - if you are interested, please send me your name and number and if there is any specific event (check the 2010 GBCA Calendar) that you would like to be involved in, please let me know the event. If you have never done race committee, training will be provided........ If you have any questions, please let me know, or my husband Brian (bjsailor@gmail.com).

Thanks all! Looking forward to a great year on the water!
