Please note - we will be scoring for each day of the Regatta and giving trophies - Saturday and Sunday and then overall Frostbite trophies which include both days together. That way if you can't race on Saturday (i.e. HLR Cook-off), but can race on Sunday - you can still be scored for Sunday. It will be advisable if you are attending the cook-off to bring the race committee BBQ on Sunday!
Let me know if you have any questions! Leigh Ann Hawboldt - Fleet Captain, lahsailing@gmail.com

We have had a lot of well thought out suggestions about making our regattas more popular and user friendly. Split sym and asso in PHRF Spin. More fixed marks for non spin and Club Handicap. Many other constructive ideas. None of this works if no one registers for the regattas.
Leigh Ann cannot set up classes and courses when only a few boats bother to register until the last minute. I have heard folks say that they are waiting to see what other boats sign up. If everybody does this, which they do, nobody signs up until the last minute.
You would get killer regattas if we had enough advance notice of the number of participants. We are committed to providing the best racing experience on the Bay, and have the assets in place to do so. It will never happen without the cooperation of you, the participants.
Sign up now and let us show you what we can do for you.
Didn't see a place to up load my PHRF Certificate, am I missing something?
No Duane you are not missing anything. That feature was experience a rolling black-out and was unavailable - The download your PHRF certificate feature is now up and running.
If you have already registered, you can email your certificate to me at lahsailing@gmail.com
Thanks!
I saw the 5 day forecast and it is suppose to be in the 70's this coming weekend! No snow, no ice, no excuses!
Courses being offered are windward/leeward, fixed marks and combo windward/leeward with a triangle. In the next day or so I will post which fixed marks could be a part of a course with coordinates so you can program your GPS.
So it is time NOW to sign up for the Frostbite Regatta!
Leigh Ann, are those of us racing in the orange class using the ratings of Icicle #5?
Gerhard - I don't know but I will find out...
According to the person "in the know" the club handicap ratings will be published in a day or two. So Club Handicap boats - time to sign up!
Another chicken? OMG another poor defenseless chicken will bit the dust.
17 boats so far (Monday) with the largest class being Club Orange. Excellent!
Don't pressure the SUPER CHICKEN.
The Chicken doesn't work weekends.
The Chicken doesn't work holidays.
8-Piece dark special $4.99 on Tuesdays at Popeye's. The bones hath been cast. Sleepy now.....
I?m hungry now!
Where are all the Club Handicap boats?? You guys play when it's free. Sign up, drop the registration fee and join the fun. We don't want to be known as the "GETTO FLEET"!!
AHH ------ I see. First he catches a chicken. Then he sacrifices it to the Chicken God of Handicap Sailing. Once that's done, he guts it, featheres it, sears it to remove the remaining quills, seasons with Popeye's spicy rub and then fries it to perfection. After all that Box EATS IT. Only then does he finally submit the necessary information to the Giant Chicken Super Computer.
Dirty chicken plucker!
Katana is down for about a month for repairs. I am repainting her deck myself, and stripping as much hardware off as possible. Plan to do a roll and brush tip with two part Awlgrip paint. Had planned to do it last year, but a log(1.5 ft x 16 ft) speed bump in the locks, coming back from Harvest Moon changed all that! Ship wrecked in Freeport for about two months and $8K. Hope to be back going in time for the Elissa Regatta, pending on weather, work, and my wife(self declared jello-shot queen). Best of luck to you all, an safe sailing.
PS: Open to hear any painting tips. And paying someone to do it is an option, putting my daughter though collage! And insurance did not cover a lot from the log accident.
We'll miss you this weekend. Get her fixed up and back on the water soon!
Any sailing instructions online--they vanished from the skipper's meeting?
