Race Details:

Race 3 - Windward/leeward The Great Noodle Tag-Team Race (weather permitting) Boats will be paired at Captains meeting.

  There are three committee boats, one for each race. That way everyone gets to race. The first committee boat sets up the course and handles the first race. After finishing their first race, the second committee boat anchors to starboard of the starting mark. When the last boat has finished the first race, the first committee boat takes the flags etc. over to the second committee boat, who then starts the second race. The third race is handled in similar fashion. As usual, a first place finish is awarded to the committee boat for that race. If you're able to be a committee contact Jack Perko 262-377-7250 or  simulate@execpc.com 

  We need to put together a scoresheet and scoring spreadsheet with PHRF ratings, so if you're planning on racing in the regatta, please drop a note to Glyn Livermore glivermore@wi.rr.com as soon as you can. If you're currently racing with MAST, we already have your PHRF rating. If you're not currently racing, send your PHRF rating also, or let us know the type of boat you have so we can look it up.  

     See you there!
