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!

How to enjoy the last day of racing

October 6th is the last night for racing WNR in 2021. How to enjoy it:

• It's costume night, so dress up if you want to participate in the best-dressed award
• Get there early and enjoy the night
• We will make a short race to finish quickly
• Plan to come by the Club afterward!

Isabel's Dock Bar will be open with drink specials. You will be able to get a $5 Dark 'n Stormy! 

Grilled burgers and grilled sausages for sale out at the dock bar as well. Plus complimentary chips and cupcakes.

There will also be music. Come listen to Bobby Reed.

An evening with plenty of fun. Invite your friends and come on by to celebrate 2021!

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.

 Perfect weather for an even out on the water last night. That is, except for the wind! Wild 60º wind shifts and dying out to nothing when the forecast called for building after sunset. I guess Wednesdays need to stay unpredictable to remain true to form.

Only one week of racing left for the season! October 6th is the last race of the year. Remember that we award "Best Dressed" to the team with the best costumes. Feel free to show up in costume next week. We will be judging from the committee boat, so come by close enough for us to see!

One week also means that it's a good time to check your season results. Make sure that I recorded each of your races correctly. We score on a spreadsheet each night, and then I transfer those results to the season scoring on Regatta Network. Of course, I can easily make mistakes. Check carefully!
