Party tomorrow!

That's right - the Awards Party is tomorrow. The event is at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in the Boatshop.

Everything starts at 6 pm.

This is a potluck event, so we are not charging for food or drinks. 

• If your last name begins with an A-K, you should bring an appetizer
• If your last name begins with an L-Z, you should bring a dessert/salad
• If you want something other than beer, bring it with you!
• If you need something special to serve your food, bring it

Should be a fun evening. Hope you can make it!

Party on the 22nd

 That's right! The Awards Party is on October 22nd at 6 pm.

The Awards Party is at CBMM in and around their boatshop.

You should come to pick up your awards and enjoy festivities with all your friends! We will have a free keg, a firepit, and a band playing.

Feel free to get inventive! Just don't bring too much food, or you will be taking it home. No one has ever brought too many drinks.

The people in the boatshop have a band, and they will be playing! Plan to come for the evening and hang out. We'll have a fire pit going, and Jenn has offered to give people tours of the Dove project. 

Who should come? You and all your crew! Spouses and friends? Bring them! Other sailors like log canoers? Bring them! How about other people who enjoy boating and live in the area? Bring them! This is a boating community party.

We're working on paper products. With any luck, we'll supply items for eating. If you need something special, let us know.

There are probably more details. We'll send more info as we get it.

Results from 10/6

Yay! We managed to get the last evening of racing! Thanks to everyone who participated this summer in racing on Wednesday nights. The wind and weather were not very cooperative this summer, but we still managed to get in 13 races. Also thanks to everyone who dressed up last night to make it fun.

Congratulations to Bob Bennett and crew on Tomorrow for a first-place finish in the B class last night. Apparently dressing up as Tigger and Pooh helped the little Rainbow go faster! Also having a great night was UnPhased in the A class and Betty Ford in the Stars.

Be sure to verify the season results. I'm ordering trophies tomorrow, so a quick check is good!

Scoring Penalties

 

I know some of you are thinking "what is a scoring penalty?"

It's simply a way to allow competitors to exonerate themselves of an error on the course. If you know you messed up, you can do two turns as a penalty on the course. If you know you are right, you can make your case in a protest hearing. 

But what can you do if you find out you were wrong after you finish the race? That's where a scoring penalty can be helpful. You can exonerate yourself and there is no need for a protest hearing.

Why are scoring penalties allowed? It's part of the Sailing Instructions for WNR.
