Correct...the First Warning for tomorrow night's race is at 1800 (6pm for the non military types).
That is 30 minutes earlier than other Wednesday night races. Plan accordingly. The Race Committee will be on the catamaran Three Seas.
The wind looks like 7-10kts out of the SouthEast. I'm sure there will be more though. :-)
PLEASE READ THE SI's!!!!!! It's pages 27-30 in the Sailing Instructions document on the website. There are opportunities to earn bonus points for your team. This is a North vs South race. You get points simply by racing, but more points for winning, so try to win!
"The Race Committee will man the finish line in style. Therefore, they may award an additional highly subjective ½ point for any boat that “crosses the finish line in style.” “In style” definition is at the discretion of the Skipper/crew, however it should be obvious to the RC. The opinion of the RC is final and not subject to protest or redress for this ½ point."
"A team may receive an additional ½ point for any Member that posts a picture of their pet on their boat on an HHSA Facebook post that will be started explicitly for this purpose on the day of the race. In order to count for points, all posts must be made before the last boat finishes. The post will include the instructions for how to post the photo. Important note (and team scoring tip): an HHSA Member doesn’t have to race… or even be on their boat… on Wednesday night to earn this ½ point for their team."
Remember to have rum! I mean...have fun!
