GBCA Discussion Forum

Brad  - Are you getting any suggestions on what kind of boat you need to get next?

Gives the race committee and volunteers a much needed break 

But mostly because December is such a busy month with all of the holiday stuff.

Go to: http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubs/gbca.html and you will find the 2011 Icicle Series Race Instructions under the Notice of Race link.

Start planning now and put on your "Dear Santa I have been good list" cold weather gear for sailing!!!

Please note the following...

1. You do not have to register for the Icicle Series and there is no entry fee (but if you haven't done so yet, this would be a great time to join GBCA... http://www.gbca.org/memberappfm.html )

2. There has been a change to the race instructions from the previous years. Under section VIII. Special Instructions the following paragraph has been deleted -

In the event the Race Chairman determines that the weather is too severe to race, the Race Chairman may cancel the race by announcing on the VHF, Channel 68 that the race is officially canceled. This announcement will be made at approximately 11:15 am.

the following paragraph has been added -

Attention is called to RRS 4: Decision to Race, "The responsibility for a boat's decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone."

Everyone have a great holiday season and I will see you in January!

We won't have that ready until the skipper's meeting.

Texas Challenge Cup is on Saturday, November 6th out of TCYC. Come out an watch sailors from GBCA, TCYC, HYC and LYC compete against each other. The format is:

• 4 Race Series
• Each club is providing and racing in one J-22 and one J-80
• Each crew member for each club can only race in 2 of the 4 races including the helms person
• # of crew on each boat is helmsman + 2 crew on the J-22 and helmsman + 3 crew on the J-80
• 2 races will be in the morning with first gun at 0930 and 2 races will be in the afternoon after lunch
• The race course will be out of TCYC

Hope to see you out there supporting GBCA and Galveston Bay sailing.

Great Pictures!

Chek out the Hamburg/Sea Trial sequence starting on Page 13, photo 1743 through Page 14 of the photos - it was awesome to watch in person and the photos capture it perfectly!

Thanks John!

Yes Bee - thank you!

There used to be this document that had the location and description of various platforms etc in Galveston Bay - does anyone have a copy of this???

And if you do can I get a copy....

Thanks!

Done! Sorry I forgot to adjust to your Non-Spin handicap. Leigh Ann

It will be highly unlikely, improbable and doubtful that PHRF Spin boats will be going around rigs - that's why we carry marks......

The NOR has been changed to reflect that the skipper's meeting is at the Club Classic at 7:00 pm, Friday October 8th and not the GBCA Club Office. Don't forget Happy Hour is from 5:00 - 8:00.

See you there...

Two questions:

1.  I'm bringing a keel boat in from Corpus.  Can I count on using the GBCA hoist, since HYC/LYC is members-only, except for their sponsored regattas.

2.  My GBPHRF cert is maybe extinct.  No changes since last rating.  Do I really need to re-up for one regatta?

Visitor, from afar...

The answer to #2 is in the NOR under Elgibility - basically yes, you need a valid PHRF-GB cert.
