It is time for the fall races.
This upcoming weekend:
Wild Goose Chase,
DESCRIPTION OF RACE
This is pursuit race to the Choptank Light and returning to Cambridge. The boats with the larger handicaps start first. Starting times based on modified PHRF provide the slower vessels with a head-start. To win, the boats ahead must be passed. If all goes to plan, first across the finish line is the winner. (Course may be altered based upon wind conditions.)
PARTICIPATION
Any member who has paid their membership fee and is sailing a boat that has received a rating from ESSA or a valid PHRF certificate of the Chesapeake may enter the race. You participation must be registered by Thursday, September 13. This year we are NOT having a skipper’s meeting prior to the race. However there is still $10 race fee needed from each participant to pay for trophies. Please mail a check to ESSA, P.O. Box 374, Salisbury, MD, 21803. Just make sure to include the boat name with payment. All boats must check in with the Race Committee boat in the vicinity of the starting line. The committee boat will announce any changes to the course on Channel 67.
PLEASE send an email with your intention to participate as soon as possible.
It takes time to compute the starting order and modified PHRF's.
My apologies regarding the short notice reminder.
