NBYC Wednesday Night Hospice "Two-Fer" - POSTPONED TO July 19th



The Hospice announcement below was sent out earlier.  All the below still applies EXCEPT, due to bad weather on the 12th, the date has been changed to Wed, July 19th.

 

 

All PHRF, Atlantic and Ensign boats are welcome to race this coming Wednesday night, July 12th, in our annual FUNdraising event for Hospice of Southeastern Connecticut.

 

Come out and race whether or not you're participating in our Wednesday Night Series.

And guest boats are welcome!  Spread the word!

 

Such a deal!

Two Races in One!

 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT SERIES RACERS

Entering the Hospice race is optional for Wednesday Night Series racers.  We assume that not everyone will want to donate to Hospice.  Therefore, please feel free to race whether or not you're entering the Hospice race too.  Everyone participating in the Wednesday Night Series will have their time around the course used to calculate position and points for this race in the overall Wednesday Night Series, using the usual NBYC ratings.

 

HOSPICE RACERS

Anyone wanting to race for the Hospice trophies can "enter" by making a donation to Hospice.  Even skippers not usually racing in Wednesday Night Series can race!

 

  Race "Entry" Fee is  $100 per boat.  Hospice Regatta Trophies will be given for A, B, Ensign, Atlantic and J-24 classes.

 

     Note:  Ensigns also have their own "Ensign Jamboree" event on August 5th.

               That is a different event from this one and requires its own entry.

 

Those who "enter" the Hospice race by making a donation will have their time around the course used to calculate position for the Hospice trophy, using their straight PHRF ratingsWed Night Racers also entering Hospice will get two results, one for the Wednesday Night Series and one for Hospice.

 

Each boat entered in the Hospice Race will get a free T-Shirt.

 

Additional shirts will be available for a donation of $ 15 each.  Also...there should be hats available ($TBD) as well as Raffle tickets ($20 each) and September Cocktail Party tickets ($ 25 each).

You can enter the Hospice event as late as Wednesday evening, July 12th, BUT YOU MUST BE REGISTERED AND YOUR ENTRY FEE PAID PRIOR TO THE RACE.  No after-the-fact registrations.  Look for John Bourget at NBYC.

By the way...on July 15th, the brand new Stonington Harbor Yacht Club hosts their 3rd Annual Cruising Race and Dance as a benefit for Hospice.  This is not an ECSA race.  This 'round Fisher's Island "Race" is just for fun...it even allows racers to use their engines during any 10 minutes during the race?  Whether you race or not, it's really about the Dinner-Dance party... reservations 860-535-0112.  By the way, SHYC's clubhouse is very first class, so expect the dance to be a very nice "yachting" event.  http://www.shyc.us/id197.htm
