Is this another big secret this year?
Boo! ;D
No. Just rescheduled to November 15. Too much was already going on in October.
Sorry, my faux pas. :-[
More to come later as the four clubs come together.
thx
I don't see it in "Upcoming Events" just the Turkey Day. Is it cancelled?
2014 Texas Challenge Cup
Hosted by GBCA
The annual yacht club challenge!
Teams from GBCA, LYC, HYC, and TCYC compete in J/22s and Sonars.
Come cheer on your GBCA team, Saturday Nov. 15th.
This year the team consists of:
Chris Morlan
Pedro Gianotti
Gary Thies
Aaron Britain
AJ Taylor
Eric Simonson
Walter Caldwell
Thanks to TCYC for providing the Sonars, and to Gary Thies for loaning his J/22 to TCYC!
Have never done one of these. How does it work? Surely you are not going to have 7 people on a 22 or Sonar.
Two different crews. Four on the J22, three on the sonar, or visa versa. Each club supplies a boat and the crews swap boats between races so no one can claim uneven boats. Works pretty good and is interesting to watch.
Maybe we should go watch it on the 15th.
Might be a plan.
Maybe we should get a photographer to take some pictures of what will be some outstanding racing?

Due to high winds (20+ knts :o and gusting) with predictions for it to build further; for safety of crew and borrowed boats, we have decided to Abandon racing today. We will try to reschedule to another day - TBD.
Not the predicted wind conditions we were seeing yesterday ??? , but I guess the weather gods decided otherwise. It is what it is.
GBCA has a lot of good food already prepared, so come on over to GBCA at 2:00 and join us for lunch.
