Good Turn out for the cruising class. Nice Work guys!

Is there a link that shows all those that have signed up to participate in this class?

Kevin Box · January 05, 2010, 08:47:11 AM

I've asked evryone to sign-up at http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubs/gbca.html and most have already. The ratings there were updated this morning. Select "View Registrants" under the event "GBCA Club Handicap Racing". There is no entry fee for the Icicle Series.

Cool Thanks.

I won't be out in Banjo Girl until the Spring I think -Old Boat, lots of projects...

JayZ · January 05, 2010, 09:52:27 AM

looks like only eight vessels when I click on the link but more than 8 raced...

anyway, I'm only curious to see who is registered and if there are any newcomers

Kevin Box · January 05, 2010, 10:05:51 AM

10 raced last weekend. 13 signed-up in one form or another. Not everyone has signed-up on the RN site yet. That's why you see 8 there. The turnout has exceeded my expectations to be sure.

What about a GC 20 with a carbon mast and asymmetrical chute? If I start tomorrow I can finish with everyone else...

Honu · January 06, 2010, 10:31:22 AM

Okay! Honu, our Catalina 320, is signed up for the new Cruising class. I have also registered on the regatta network. I am ready to finish not in last like icicle #1. Last to another 320 by half a boat length. Hey, we're cruisers with a 120 jib, not the huge bed-sheets most are flying. Also, we add water to the boat before a race to make sure we have water for the head. All the liquor on the boat also slows us down!

Kevin, "Figaro" is sitting in the mud. We will not be able to race this Saturday.

Where are you sitting in the mud?

gwittich · January 08, 2010, 12:36:32 AM

In the slip at LYC. (We tried to relocate the boat on Wed. but it was already too late.)
I am ready to crew if somebody needs a hand.

By the way, thanks for asking.

I asked because Stinger draws 6.5 feet and I always wonder if I will be able to get past the Marina Restaurant.

gwittich · January 08, 2010, 11:21:58 AM

Bee, thanks for the offer to crew but in the meanwhile I have sustained a knee injury (skiing) and could not contribute much.
Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks. Take care of the injury.
