I would note that the flatter spinnaker that Yikes! had was used only once in the 2019 Rum Race series. Wind condition did not allow us to use more that that.

Looking at the results again it appears that the times are close to correct, but the time is identical to Pingo and I believe Pingo was behind Uno Mas, it is just that Uno Mas is listed in wrong position. The same error is occurring in the Racer/Cruiser Spinnaker class with Danelaw being listed as 1st with the time posted he should be 4th.

Rum Race #3 results are still incorrect for Racer Spinnaker. Yikes finished 1st overall and 1st in class. Uno Mas w/Kitterman was almost 2 minutes behind per Race Qs. I have notified Scott, and Darrin, but it appears no action has been taken yet.

Galveston Bay Area Racing / 2018 Rum Race #6 & #7

I am not good at forums and this might be perceived as not the right place to discuss my concerns about the Friday night Rum Races #6 & #7, but here goes.
I feel that the ~6:30-7:30 pm starts will have all the boats finishing in the dark and many, including me possibly finishing ~9:30 pm. For the small boats, J-22, J24, and even the catamarans, we have no lights, no GPS to find the marks. I have sailed in the dark with my big boat, 37', but sailing in a race condition on a Friday night with a lot of other traffic including motor boats, I feel this is very challenging if not a very safe situation.
Can we either return to the Saturday format or at least move the start time up at least 1 hour? I know the thought is a "Friday" race and after people are off work, but this safety issue is real for me.
Thoughts others?

Crew Finder / Need J24 crew
January 15, 2015, 10:27:24 AM
We are looking for additional J24 crew for 2 J24's, Trick Bag and Yikes. These boats are owned by Anita Gale with helm by Barry Bailey and Cliff Rademaker. We are short crew for Wednesday night racing and J24 circuit racing. Able to take any level experience as we do like to train new people. We are doing the Icicle races this month also if anyone interested.
