GBCA Discussion Forum

I went online to register for the Chili Chase regatta this morning and saw that the only option was for a late fee. The NOR states late fees will be charged after Nov 29. I think we may have a error somewhere.

Registration is open to sign up for three days of great offshore sailing. Stellar of Course has registered, secured a slip at GYB and a spot in the RV park for the trailer. With the Cruising Club Handicap being our largest fleet i hope to see a large turnout for some great offshore racing.

See you in Galveston

For this coming Sundays Mixed Doubles race, will the Cruising Class us the most recent Handicap from Rum Race #7. Or the Handicap we used for the orginally schedule race?

I have room for two crew members for Rum Race #5 on Stellar of Course. We race in the Club Handicap with a 204 rating.

If you wish to crew with us let me know.

Two of my crew have had to drop out of this years race so I am looking for a couple of crew memebers. This will be our 12th year to race in the HMR and we have even won in our cruising division a couple of times. The boat is Stellar of Course, a 1988 Cal 33.

If you are interested please contact me at

I am not sure of those of you who may already know but TMCA Past Commodore Ed Herndon past away Tuesday night. Ed had been battling cancer for the last year and finnaly lost the battle. Ed was very active in sailing and boating in general. He and his wife,Marion, have been very active in TMCA for many years with both serving has Commodore.

Terry Young called me today as he had heard about Ed's passing so I thought I would make a short post to GBCA.

Services have been finalized at this time.

TMCA is involved in the upcoming Spring Fling in Freeport this May. I got the e-mail below from Doug Payne who is chairing this event. I told Doug I would ask around at GBCA to see if anyone is willing to help with this race to Freeport. I do enjoy racing but not sure I am ready to start a race as race committee. Anyone intersted? Please contact Doug Payne.



Ron:



We have decided to partner with the Brazosport Yacht club to put on a jetty to jetty race the Friday of   Spring Fling Weekend. They are handling the whole thing and we are trying to distance ourselves from it from a liability standpoint. However, they have asked for one thing, volunteers to execute the launch off Galveston. Knowing you at least have a little racer in your blood, would you be interested in leading this? I would think knowledge of racing rules would be important. If not, do you have any suggestions from the club who have the experience? I can put you in touch with Fred Cordes their commodore if you have any questions.



Best,



Douglas M. Payne
