After talking to the skippers this weekend, we have most everyone
available on Friday the 4th of July. (note date change)
So lets have the Harlan Challenge reverse start race at 1:00 pm. The
slowest boat starts and 1:00 and the rest right after. The traveling
trophy is ready. We'll probably have a BBQ that night.
There are new handicap numbers out this summer that I will be using.
The distance will more likely be 12 miles so we can be done in time
for some to get home to other obligations. If the wind is lighter
I'll set a shorter course yet. You will need to decide if you are
using a spinnaker or not when you start.
We need crew! If you get this email and don't have a boat at the lake
then this is your invitation to crew on about any boat. Be there by
11:30 to jump on a boat. Race starts at 1:00. We will have 7 boats
there this weekend.
In case you haven't heard, a fine boat was lost this last Thursday in
the wind storm. Joel and Luke's M25 suffered several serious cracks
in the hull when it was blown off the trailer. New pictures of the
boat are on this Yahoo website. My Beneteau was lucky as it blew
partly off the lift and rested on the plastic dock.
Also the location of the far turn around buoy is shown on the
webpage.
