I guess now is the time when we get the spring winds! That's okay. We'll take good wind when we can get it. I'm glad the wind held off long enough and we could easily complete the races last night.
Congratulations to Jim Ryan and Andrew Devlin for a first place in the Stars. Also, congrats go to Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato as well as Jeff Pevey and crew on Ful Dek for first place finishes. Lots of great racing out there last night!

Yeah! Great night for racing!
Just a little excitement getting everyone started. We counted about 6 of the 9 Star boats as over early. I guess aggressive starts are good, but wow! I don't want to buy an I and Z flag, but I guess I may need to do it. At least the second start was clean.
Congratulations to Patrick Penwell and crew sailing Tim's Boat for a first-place finish in the Stars. Also having a fast night was Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato and Jeff Pevey and crew on Ful Dek. The A class was particularly tight last night with the top 3 boats finishing corrected within 17 seconds. Fun to watch!

Let's hope for more spring winds!

Underwater Obstruction
FYI
There is a report of an underwater obstruction near the R"12" mark that we call E (outside Deep Water Point). Take care to stay in the channel if you are in transit near the mark.
As you can imagine, we will not be using it until it's known the obstruction is gone.

Another great night to be on the water - now we just have to work on some wind!
It was predicted that the wind would drop down to about 4 knots as the evening went, but it appeared that SE winds that clock to the West pretty much always drop out completely. We were able to get the Stars finished with wind, but then it started fading fast. Sorry to those few boats that couldn't make it.
Congratulations to Tim Godlee and Tim Paris in Tim's Boat for a first place in the Stars. With the wind changing through the race, there was a constant need to change strategy. Also, congratulations to Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato and well as Jeff Pevey and crew on Ful Dek for first place finishes.

Do you have a new PHRF rating? We're using the Circular Random ratings in Wednesday Night Racing this year. It more closely matches our racing style. If you have a new rating, send it to us.

Okay, I'm figuring out how to use Excel again. Apparently, it's not like riding a bike - I can forget what I knew about using Excel. I think this version is a bit more readable and closer matches what you've seen in our results in the past.
I also made an error copying the data from the scratch sheets to the results. We wrote down the time for ReJoyce correctly but I read the wrong line when entering it into the results. Sorry about that, ReJoyce!

As usual, make sure the results make sense to you. We're only human on the RC.

Yeah! what a great night of racing!
At first, it seemed as if the course might be short with the puffs coming through the starting line, but the wind calmed down to the predictions and we have quite a pleasant evening. Everyone got in before sunset and it wasn't all that cold for May racing.
Congratulations to Jonathan Clarke and crew in the new unnamed Etchells out there last night. They sailed a fast race and came in first for the A class. Pretty good for a first night! We're guessing their PHRF rating is 123. Also having a great night was Jim Ryan and Andrew Devlin in the Stars and well as Jeff Pevey and crew on Ful Dek.

I'm working on a new scoring system (converting to Excel), so don't beat me up if you find an error. Just let me know and we'll fix it.
