Just a reminder that with the revision of the weekend Yacht racing program for the remainder of this season that there is an additional Interclub Yacht race scheduled and it will be held at SLMASC this coming SUNDAY 19th January ….. (apologies for the typo in last weeks email/post which indicated that it was on Saturday at MPASC).

As for previous Interclub races, starting will be in two separate divisions with the Division listing of boats to be updated on the Interclub Event page of the website tomorrow (Friday). Div 2 warning signal will be at 1330 and Div 1 warning signal will be at 1345.

Make sure that you have your SLMASC sailing instructions along with the amendment issued on 16th November 2013 which provides the revised Appendix B outlining the interclub courses to be sailed. This Sundays Interclub race will use the GENERAL interclub courses in the revised Appendix B (not the Marathon courses) and the starting proceedures will be as outlined for Interclub Series Water based Scratch Starts in the sailing instructions. If your yacht does not appear on the Division listing when it is updated on Friday, please text or call 0438 724599 ASAP so that we can confirm your starting division and TCF handicap (please don’t leave it until Sunday morning though). Both divisions will have scratch starts, will sail the same course, and can use spinnakers, with overall results being based on combined TCF results, so don’t be too concerned which division you have been allocated to sail in.

After a warm week it looks like we may have a cooling Southerly with a steady breeze on Sunday, and we hope to see as many SLMASC boats as possible out racing as part of the winning team 😉

Smooth Sailing

Just a reminder that normal Twilight pointscore racing resumes this Friday evening and will continue throughout the second half of the season as per the sailing program. Handicaps for this weeks racing have now been posted on the Yacht page of the website, and please note that despite the flexible format adopted for the sweepstake races over the last few weeks that spinnakers will not be allowed in pointscore twilight races for the remainder of the season.

Following the Yacht meeting held in mid December to review the trial weekend yacht racing program adopted in the first half of the season, the consensus view based on feedback received was that the format for weekend racing should be revised for the remainder of the season. Most skippers indicated that the twilight racing program should continue unchanged while the most indicated that they were not able to race every weekend due to family and other commitments. While further discussion will be required to determine a new format for next season, it was subsequently proposed that in addition to the full weekly twilight racing program, that the following weekend races would be retained or added for the remainder of the current season:

Sun 12/1    Handicap Race 4 KS Series
Sun 19/1     Interclub Race at SLMASC (extra interclub race added)

Sun 9/2      Handicap Race 5 KS Series
Sat 15/2     Interclub Race at MPASC

Sat 15/3     Interclub Race at SLMASC
Sun 23/3    Handicap Race 6 KS Series

April Races TBC

The proposed program for races at SLMASC for the remainder of the season therefore includes:
– Weekly Friday Twilight races;
– 1 Sunday Handicap race at SLMASC each month; and
– 1 Saturday Scratch interclub race at MPASC or SLMASC each month.

On weeks where no weekend race is scheduled at SLMASC, yachts are able to race at MPASC on Saturdays if they wish. The program will again be revisited at the end of season to determine the new format to be adopted for next season.

An updated Yacht Sailing Program along with any further details will be published next week once confirmed at the Sailing Committee meeting on Monday night.

We hope to see you back on the water this weekend on both Friday night and in Sundays Handicap race at SLMASC.

Smooth Sailing for 2014!
