Should ESSA's Choptank Fleet create a new racing class?

Several skippers have expressed an interest in creating a new class of spinnaker racers. The class would be open to boats with Spinnaker PHRF ratings of 126 and higher. 

The classes would be as follows:

Spinnaker Racing Class -PHRF up to 125

Spinnaker Class PHRF 126 and higher (Spin 126+)

Non-Spin

For ESSA to support a third class each class would require a minimum of five boats. 

Are you interested in spinning?

Any other ideas to expand interest in our fleet?

Please reply to essasailing38@gmail.com

From The NOR & SI

2.7 Three boats in a class must sail to make a race. Races with fewer than three boats

will not be scored. Four races are required to constitute a Series. There will be

one discard in each Series. A boat serving as stationary committee boat will

receive the average points for their other counted races in that series.

2.8 Awards will be given for total points for each Class in each Series and total

points for the season. The number of Series Award Plaques given is based on the

number of boats competing in the Class (Spin or Non-Spin.) 3, 4 boats - first

place only; 5, 6 boats - first and second; 7 or more boats - first, second, third.

Season Awards for each class will be based on all races sailed in the three Series

minus a competitor’s three worst scores. To qualify for an award a boat must race

in 50% of the races sailed plus one.
