Lots of fun in the SMURF ratings last night! Congratulations to Claiborne Ferry who had an excellent night last night just leaving the A class in the dust and Pagan who equally tromped on the B class.
It was a great night for the bigger boats who could throw up lots of sail area. It will be interesting to see what happens when the summer winds die out and we have shorter courses. Maneuverability will become king.

It was a little on the hot side last night and we were a little short-handed on the committee boat, but there was plenty of wind for a nice race out there! The PHRF boats were able to get in a nice 6.24 mile race with a nice spinnaker run down the course. A little shorter for the Stars, but that's okay.
Congratulations to Tim Paris and Tim Godlee on Tim's Boat for a great race in the Star class. We also saw the return of Javelin to the PHRF A class with Tom Gore skippering. Great job with a first place finish. Also congratulations to Jeff Pevey and the crew of Ful Dek for a first in PHRF B.

SMURF Results 6/18
The finishes using the SMURF ratings last night reflected that the wind was dying out as the boats were finishing. Still there was some good mixing up.
Congratulations to Rick Moran and the crew of Evil Woman as well as Jeff Pevey and the crew of Ful Deck for finishing first in SMURF. Jeep Jallade and the crew of Moonraker also had a good night coming in second!

Set up a nice long course, watched the wind get squirrelly just before the start like it always does, and then sent everyone off to race the Miles River. The nice wind that we had in the harbor apparently did not work its way down to Oak Creek. Slowly, the evening turned into a drifter.
The Stars managed to finish just as the wind was dropping out in the harbor. Congratulations to Will Murdoch and Carl Langkammerer on Wish for a break-away finish. In the dying winds, we shortened course for the PHRF boats to Deep Water Point. Coming in first for PHRF A was Rick Morgan and the crew of Evil Woman and finishing first in PHRF B was Jeff Pevey and the crew of Ful Dek. Congratulations to everyone for fast sailing in light air and strong currents!
By the end of the night, there was not a breath of air left on the water.

SMURF results for 6/11
So who was crushing it in the SMURF ratings this week?
That would be Alex Schuster and the crew of Swagman for correcting first by more than 1:44 minutes! That's pretty fast. I guess Swagman likes a windy night. A class didn't change up, so the winner of A was Rick Morgan and the crew of Evil Woman.

The weather reports were saying that the atmosphere was "unsettled". It sure seemed like that to us. They were calling for 7-10 knots with rain coming about 9 pm. They were right on the 9 pm for rain, but man did we have wind! Most of the evening we had 18-20 from the east.
Most everyone had a great time flying around in the heavier air. Sorry you didn't have a good night, Jeff.
It turns out that there is something out there in the water near the Gibson's Flats (G "5"). I don't know what it is, but Jeff found it with the bottom of his boat. I guess we won't be using the B mark for a while.
Congratulations to Tim and Tim on Tim's Boat for an excellent finish despite some theatrics on the course (the video of the finish is exciting!). Also doing an excellent job was Jeff Pevey and the crew of Ful Dek and Rick Morgan and the crew of Evil Woman for solid finishes in their classes.

2014 Mark Boat Duty Assignments and Outstanding Registrations
The RC officially entitled last week's racing "Still Life with Star Boats." Hopefully this week the winds will be more favorable.
As I warned a couple of weeks ago, mark boat assignments have been made. You should have received an email with your assigned date. You can also view the entire schedule at this link. Please write your assigned date down somewhere! For those with SEPTEMBER assignments, remember we start 20 minutes earlier.
Mark boat duties are straightforward: Bowie Rose is generous to provide a boat and a driver. As mark boat crew, you need to get to MRYC with enough time to get the equipment out of the shed (do NOT inflate the marks!), put the equipment on the mark boat, cast off dock lines, inflate marks on the way out, and set marks under the guidance of the RC and Bowie. In exchange, you get a great view of the starts and mark roundings! Bowie leaves the dock by 5:15pm (20 minutes earlier in September!), so please plan accordingly.
At this point only the last 2 weeks remain open and available. Hopefully we can get a couple more boats racing and have them cover, if not, we'll hope someone will take a second turn (a WNR hat for those!), maybe someone who ended up just going out for a boat ride which ended in a cancelled race (like last week - hint hint).
We have some outstanding registrations (Pagan?, Ninotchka?, Mischief?, Hinesight?).
Registration is easy. You can find registration forms on page 3 (PHRF) and page 4 (Star) of the Notice of Race. Print the one that's applicable to your boat, fill it out, and mail it to WNR at the address below with a check for $50 (made out to St. Michaels Wednesday Night Racing). If you want to save yourself postage, give your completed registration form and $50 fee to an RC member at MRYC on Wednesday night after the races.
See you on the water!
