Closing Day Procedures and Handout

Strother Scott on Thursday October 27, 2005 02:58PM

I am now entering my third year as Race Chair for the Staggered Start Race. The prior two years I had laid out many alternative courses, and made a spreadheet to correspond to the lengths of those courses. I find I have now lost the notebook with the corurses, and hence we will have a slightly revised system this year.

At the Skippers meeting to occur at the Flagpole at 9:30am on Saturday Ocober 29, 2005, I will hand out printed copies of this Spreadsheet. Please note it has 2 pages - one sheet is to be used if we start on time, the other if the start is to be delayed. Unlike last year, the spreadsheet forces me to …

Two and a Half Days before the Mast

Strother Scott on Monday October 17, 2005 08:00PM

There is a FLICKR Daily Zeitgeist "java widget?" on the top left corner of the home page, displaying in motion recent photographs uploaded the FBYC's Flickr photo site. It is much easier for us to put pictures there than on the event pages, although we will continue to use both places.

For those of you who notice, the pictures have recently changed, indicating new pictures. Jere Dennison and 10 other FBYC members were guests of Brent Halsey on the Schooner Virginia on a 2 1/2 day trip from Deltaville to Richmond immediately following the Stingray Point Regatta.

Jere has written an article for this month's Log that describes the trip - along with great pictures, which Vic will …

They raced 17 miles in 15-25 knots from the Northwest in the Fishing Bay Yacht Club Fall Series Medium Distance Race on Saturday. And, the tough sail handling continued after the boats got back to the piers on Jackson Creek. Stiff NW breezes, being what they are, made folding and stowing spinnakers a challenge even on land. FLEET WINNERS: PHRF A: Leroi Lissenden, Voodoo Chile. PHRF B: Mike Dale, Juggernaut. PHRF C: Brad Miller, Schehellion. PHRF Non-Spin: Barfield, Smith, Checko. Meanwhile the J/24 fleet did 4 short windward-leeward races and Mark Wensell's Mojo took top honors. PRO: Tom Roberts.
