Hello Racers and Cruisers!
Snidely is well on his way in securing the electoral college in 2012! He has created an ISR committee to oversee all sailing and nautical progress on the Columbia river as well as all our nation's navigational waterways. While his campaign is ramping up across our nation, the ISR committee will send out top secret instructions on how to conduct the weekly operations of ISR. These instructions are based on Snidely's vision of our future! Only YOU can make this series a success!

NOTICE OF RACE
INVITATION: The ISR committee and CYC extend an invitation to all interested skippers and crew to participate in a “for fun” race series on the Columbia River between the I-5 and I-205 bridges. The ISR committee (an informal group of us racers that want to keep this great event going) will be running this series for the 2011-2012 season. CYC will be sanctioning this event for the 2012 portion of the year.
BACKGROUND: The ISR series or “International Sailing Regatta” has been run by Terry Johnson “Snidely Marks” the last two years and was sanctioned by SYSCO for the 2010-2011 season. Snidely’s imagination combined with his talent for writing, created a winter time racing culture filled with great racing and satirical humor. Because of his efforts we have an opportunity to work together and keep this event alive. Snidely has stepped down from his position of running the ISR to run for President of the United States. Snidely has appointed a few trusted souls to run his operations on the river, thus the ISR committee was formed. The ISR committee, whose numbers and members are unknown and kept top secret under orders of Snidely himself, control all ISR operations. The ISR committee uses volunteers to do the will of Snidely Marks to maintain the power and clout of the ISR, while Snidely Marks runs his presidential campaign.
DESCRIPTION/ PROTESTS/ COURSES: The course each week shall be 14-18-2-14 unless changed by the designated RC for the week. RC will be on VHF channel 72; races will be started with VHF countdown and a horn blast for each class start. Classes and start times will be predetermined and emailed in a “Hype” email each week preceding the race. There will be no protests heard, the racing rules of sailing shall be followed and disputes shall be handled among parties with Corinthian spirit.
