no.  replaced by gbca offshore series on 23-may and 19-sept

Thanks.

The calendar says Race #2 is Sept 26. Sept 19-20 is the HYC HOOD.

Is Texas Race Week happening this year? I don't see it on the calendar for July.

I think you meant this link for the usual place:

Here's the faceoff between Chubby Boy J/70 and 77 J/92. The third leg is pretty exciting.

For those of you new to RaceQS.com replays: use a desktop browser with Flash player installed. And turn on your smartphone Raceqs App during the races!

Icicle 2 will be the 4th annual "Goulash Race".
Hans Sitter, owner of King's Biergarten in Pearland will again provide goulash soup.
(Hans is now also an author and may want to promote his new book. I doubt it will have much to do with sailing.)

Sweet comfort food! Thanks Hans!

I don't see it in "Upcoming Events" just the Turkey Day. Is it cancelled?

I've been watching their daily videos on this youtube channel (they are sponsored by Inmarsat, so the videos are all HD):

Does anyone know if mid-May weather in Newport is usually good enough to be on the water (to watch the in-port racing and the start of the N. Atlantic leg)?

Ouch.

Oops. I guess all the SI's ate in this thread.

RaceQs track for #77. Great job Ono catching us in the last 1/10 nm.

raceQS question

How did you get the start/M54/E marks in raceQS?  The version I have does not seem to allow me to do that.

You add the marks afterward, on the web track replay page -- click on the "Gear" icon.

Rum Race 1 track for J92 77 (you will need a modern browser and the Google Earth plugin to view). Terrible race for us.
