Post Summer Short Course Racing

From Ray McCormack

Just wanted to make sure I get everyone enough time to put in their calendar and give crews notice on Post Summer Short Course Racing. This is the third year I have done this, and I enjoy serving the Portland sailing community some fun.

No NOR will be developed this year, this will be run as just a fun, low key event. Muliple races of windward/leeward will be run from my Avon at 6 PM each night, with possibly my kids blowing bubbles down the race course. Boats who want to participate and be recognized as scored need to sail by on starboard tack hailing their sail number, and providing beverages if they wish. No protests will be honored, so folks need to settle situations on their own. OCS's will be recorded this year because of the recognition of scoring.

Dates: September 3, 10, & 17th. 6 PM start.

Each night after racing we can meet at the deck for beers and burgers. I will see what we can do to come up with some fun prizes for the last night. Last year we had a few San Juans and the J-24's make it out. Please forward this message on to others if they wish to participate. Even PHRF keel boats or dinghies can come out if they wish. Everyone starts at the same time though, and from there I will break up "classes".

Hopefully CYC will let me borrow some of there gear again.
