Will we have updated handicaps for the cruising class before Saturday?

Looks like a last minute issue.  I counted 20 orange flags last week!  I'm still waiting for the finish times to be posted from last week.

Yes, ratings have been updated as of this morning. Participants should have received an email via regatta network.  Check your spam box.  Sorry for the delay, sometimes it takes all week to collect finish times.
If you were in the middle of the fleet, your rating probably didn't change much, if at all.  Only those at the front and tail end will change as the equation tries to bring boat ratings toward the middle. 

Whether you think or wonder if your rating should or has changed, but you don't see a change in the database ratings on the day of the race - then that is your rating for the day.

Have fun tomorrow!

Cruising Club skippers, if you have not already done so, please provide your finishing time. There should have been an e-mail from Regatta network sent out this morning, check you spam box if you didn't get it. Please reply to that message. We need these results so that the Cruising fleet has adjusyed ratings in time for the Conundrum regatta on July 26th.
Thanks!

Hmmm, this link only shows races thru rum Race #3.

[Bee]

Refresh your page.

[Stellar of Course]

Bee, that's the first thing I tried but still only show results thru Rum Race #3. Are you able to see Rum Race #4 on the results page?

[Bee]

Yes

[Bob H]

Club Handicap ratings are posted with updates from Rum Race #4.

Correction to the Spin non-sprit fleet for Rum Race #4. Terrorist used a sprit and was mistakenly scored in that fleet, and did nto place in the sprit fleet.
The remaining boats were moved up by one place, and Rowdy was 5th.

For Rum Race #5, I need a little help sorting some finishes out.
Here's what I have. We are reviewing the photos from last night as well.
If you know for certain something is wrong here, please send me a message.
Please also remember to fly your class flags per the sailing instructions. Make sure they are visible to other boats, especially when you are finishing.
Thanks,
Bob H.

Osprey passed Bayou Baby, but I thought it was on the M55->E leg.

Yes I was the fat guy on the rail. 

Bayou Baby lost tight control of her jib just after rounding E.  Could not point.

[Bee]

OOPS, my mistake.  I was thinking of Joyride, not Osprey.  Did not actually pay attention to where we finished.
