Double-check the Season Standings

Hi All,

It's that time of the year when we need to double-check the season standings:

2025 Season Standings

I'm far from perfect, so check:

• Your finish
• Your mark boat night
• Your total points

I'm ordering trophies soon, so it would be beneficial to order only one set!

Sailing instructions amendment

I noticed an error in the Sailing Instructions. The change from last year's scoring caused a grammar checker to change my change. This is what I expected and what I think you expected:

Three series - one throwout per series.

SI Amendment 1

Hopefully, this is closer. I'll read it closely next year!

Results from 9/3 Jimmy Wilson Race

Ugh! I forgot to post these before 6 pm again. Maybe I'll get it right before the end of the season.

Guest skipper night!

Remember that this week is the Gurst Skipper Night.

Switch skippers with another boat. See if it's the boat, the skipper, or (more likely) the crew that makes the boat go.

It's happening!

Wednesday is the first day of racing!

Get in Early for free food!

Sign up for Mark Boat

Turns out that I'm not good at counting. We have almost three weeks until the first race on May 7th!

It is time to sign up for Mark Boat. 

Mark Boat Signup

Remember that everyone should serve as mark boat once during the season. You can do mark boat on anything that floats and has an engine. That includes the racing boat I see you race every Wednesday. If you can put the boat in gear, you can do mark boat!

If you don't sign up, I'll assign you a spot on May 1st.

Sailing Instructions 2025

The Sailing Instructions are ready for you to read and print.

Sailing Instructions

Make sure you read through and understand the basics. Maybe keep a copy on your boat if you need to look up something. I know people often ask us where is the "Y" mark?  It's good to know all the marks.

Also, it's time to register. 

Register Here

We're happy to have anyone come out to sail for three weeks without paying, but you do need to register after that. Remember that if you want to compete for trophies, Star boats need to pay their class dues, and handicap boats need an EZ certification.

You can get EZ certs here.

Only two weeks to go!

EZ certs for Handicap boats

Are you racing in a handicap boat? It's time to get your 2025 EZ Certificate.

https://www.regattaman.com/certificate_page.php

If you have a certificate from 2024, we can use that. If your certificate is older or you don't have one, please get one now. You'll need one to be in the running for trophies!

2025 Notice of Race

 Hi All,

Racing is 4 weeks out! Here is the Notice of Race for 2025.

2025 Notice of Race

nextsailor.com/regatta/844
