GBCA Single Handed/Mixed Doubles Regatta

BJSailor · August 03, 2009, 08:13:37 PM

Two 60lb children on the weather rail equals one girlfriend / wife or 1/2 boyfriend / husband in the doublehand race.

The NOR and SIs are pretty clear. Singlehanded / doublehanded - seems pretty clear.

Take the children for a nice sail after the race or this/next weekend.

Hi Guys. I understand there is a trophy presentation on Sunday after the mixed race. Is there a party Sat. nite after the race?

There is ALWAYS a party after a GBCA race. As of now, Beverly, Charles, Chris, Duane, Richard and Terri and their crew will join the RC on Tramp after the races and have a great time.There will be booze and food and party favors. Private Party.
If more people sign up, we may have to move the party to the clubhouse and open it up. There will be more booze. And popcorn. Maybe some food. Definitely more booze.

The owners of "Club Tropicale" plan on being out there some fun. Probably both days.

Shaken not Stirred will be out on Saturday as well, practicing our yelling and screaming in preparation for the Divorce Cup on Sunday.

Don't be afraid of spilling your drinks - come on with your registrations fellow cruisers! Let's put the C back in gbCa!!!

Is anyone going to register for the spin fleet? We're going to come down for both days, at least that's our current plan

I am staying non-spin... the spinnaker will get in the way of the umbrella..

does anyone know of spectator boats going out on Saturday?

M/V Tramp will be out both days with the best seats on the Bay for watching starts and finishes. Price of admission is to help with flags, scoring, checking boats in, etc. Respond to me if you are interested.

Not really. I'm tainted from almost getting heat stroke last year.

STuma · August 11, 2009, 03:21:54 PM

Quick question - right now i'm the only boat registered for the double-handed PHRF spinnaker fleet. Will the J80's and J22's stay broken out if they only have a couple of boats or will they be put in the PHRF spin? I'm worried i'll be the only boat in that fleet..

Are autopilots allowed for the Saturday race?

Kevin Box · August 12, 2009, 10:28:32 AM

No. No SOS-TEX for this one. Straight-up RRS.

Jeff (and anyone else who has the question),
I will put three or more one designs in a class. Any two or less will race in the spin fleet and there may be divisions within the spin fleet depending on the number of entries and rating bands, and the spin fleet may include one design classes as divisions.
Speaking of ratings, current PHRF-GB certificates are required to race PHRF, and must be uploaded on RN before the Skipper's meeting, or delivered to the the RC at the meeting. Jeff, this is not directed specifically at you. There are several boats lacking certificates. I will send an email to skippers shortly.

Jonsey · August 12, 2009, 04:20:44 PM

Jim,

I appreciate the response. My application is in and i'm being reviewed at Thursday's meeting. I hope that I have everything in good order and that I receive my certificate Thursday night / Friday morning.

Again, thanks for the response.
