There has been some confusion on the race committee duty
schedule this year. The yearbook printer accidentally re-printed the 2006
schedule which is the schedule bound into your yearbook. That is
obviously no good this year. To correct that we inserted a revision as a
loose page in your yearbook. Hopefully you got that. However that
still isn’t 100%. We were advised of some conflicts and tried to accommodate
those by further updating the schedule. You should have gotten that
updated version in your June newsletter. It is also reprinted below and
is posted on the club bulletin board. There is some additional helpful
information at the bottom of this schedule. Tina Bettera and Doris Musick are usually available to help
out Wednesday nights. They are both very experienced and helpful with
timing, etc. Their names are not listed below and you should check with
them to be sure they will be on board for your Wednesday night duty. If
they cannot make it be sure you find someone capable of doing timing! Sorry about the confusion and we hope this sets the record
straight. May F-26 Harlan Fredericksen S-27 Jim Gardner S-28 Franz Edson W-30 Hunt Foster, June S-2 Gary Woodruff S-3 Early Bird Reggatta

Pelissier September S-1 Scott Cika S-2 Constantine Manthous M-3 Matthew Dowd Due to our volunteer mode of staffing, most of you are far more comfortable participating in a race than running one. Don't despair, there is help to be had right there on the water. There are some very experienced people skippering and crewing on the boats you are setting a course for. Pick a boat to work with and use them as your on the course eyes to help determine wind direction, set of the line and where to place the windward mark. Before you set out, you should arrange with the skipper you wish to work with to be the on the course assistant. Then if you need help setting marks ask them to come near the RC boat, go head to wind and give you a read on course and start line directions. The experienced skippers will be glad to give you a hand as it benefits them by setting a fair course. By choosing one to work with it may help your peace of mind by reducing the number of people putting in their 2 cents worth. Actually it won't but you will be able to filter out some of the extraneous comments that come drifting across the waters. Good Racing ~ Hunt Foster, Rear Commodore |
