Conundrum Regatta III: March 13th

[ChrisK]

Mark the date: lucky 13

The Notice of Race is posted for the Conundrum Regatta.  

One day of racing, shorthanded, on the bay, 3 fixed marks, any order.

Preliminary SI and Chart of the race area are available from:

[ChrisK]

The Saturday forecast sure looks nice for some shorthanded racing. 65? temps. Spring in Texas.

Link to the race course. Time to sharpen those pencils, and do a little homework...
Let's see: 3 to the 3 power is 9 combinations...but no repeats, you've got to hit them all so 6 combinations:
EHJ
JHE
HEJ
HJE
JEH
EJH
Apparently, I'm thinking about the alphabet soup too much

Maybe it's time to goto the
BAR
and find some
RUM
and figure this
OUT

[DollFin]

I'll join you for that rum drink while I let my other half (who only drinks Coor's Light) figure this out.

Chris, since we can only go to each mark once (we can't go to the same mark 3 times and call it a day) it's 3! (ie 3*2*1) instead of 3^3 that's why you came up with 6 permutations. Ow, my brain hurts.

[DollFin]

I'm not seeing anything listed about a skippers' meeting. Is there going to be one?

[ShakenNotStirred]

No skippers meeting for this one. Per the Notice of Race:
6. Sailing Instructions
Sailing Instructions will be made available at: http://www.regattanetwork.com/clubs/gbca.html from a link
on the Official Notice Board. Questions regarding the Sailing Instructions may be transmitted via e-mail
to: kevinb@uescontrols.com Questions and Responses will be posted on the Official Notice Board.

From the upcoming events, click on "Official Notice Board" for the Conundrum to get the course map and sailing instructions.

At least the party is not online. 

[DollFin]

Thanks! We did get all the instructions, but David thought it was odd that there was no meeting so we just wanted to double check.  See you Saturday!

[ChrisA]

Who should PHRF certificates be emailed to?

[ChrisK]

The best option is to upload 2010 PHRF certificate at registration thru Regatta Networks.
Option B is to scan/e-mail Leigh Ann or me

[Kevin Box]

The following message was sent to all competitors via the e-mail address given during registration, but we thought it best to post here as well:

Conundrum Competitors,

The question was asked "Where do I find the SI".  The answer is " there is a link on the electronic official notice board". Since the question indicates a complete lack of knowledge of the electronic official notice board, we felt it important to point out it's existence and location:

https://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/applet_notice_board.php?regatta_id=2627

It looks like we may have true "Conundrum" weather, with a good chance of west wind at the start. Please review the start, gate and finish line configurations in the SI, since it is entirely possible there will be a downwind start.


Good luck!

[ChrisK]

25 boats already. That beats last year!
And with the wind forecast, somebody bring a camera....
Some damn good competition lining up.
The entry list/registration is getting more interesting by the minute!!

There were no changes from the preliminary version.
