IMPORTANT …. New format for Interclub Series

  • January 24, 2012

Team SLMASC needs YOU !!

The annual interclub challenge series between SLMASC and MPASC kicks off again on SATURDAY 4th Feb 2012, with the first race this year to be hosted by MPASC.

The race format has been altered slightly this year to better accommodate all yachts, with the creation of separate Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker divisions, with the Non-Spinnaker yachts sailing a shorter course. Results of both divisions will count towards the interclub team point score and it is hoped that this change will increase the appeal for boats that do not normally fly kites (or those who are short of crew on the day and cannot do so). As a result of this change it would be great to see ALL of the Friday twilight fleet joining in the interclub series this year.

This is a team event, and those who sailed last year will recall how our strong team tactics won the series for SLMASC in convincing style. We know that MPASC are mounting a major challenge this year to try to reclaim the trophy, and they have even put in all new marks in new locations and designed a whole new series of courses to try to confuse us ….. so read the sailing instructions carefully! But we can fight fire with fire, so let’s turn up in numbers and swamp them with a Blue and Yellow armada.

This is where SLMASC NEEDS YOUR HELP. We need ALL SLMASC yachts on the water in both interclub races this year to help retain the trophy. If you are short of crew, let us know before this Sunday and we will try to recruit some of the clubs very experienced dinghy sailors into the team too. SLMASC boats are also requested to fly the club burgee on their backstay to put fear into the enemy.

Sailing instructions will be available from the MPASC website shortly and we will advise when these have been posted, but make sure you block out the date, rally the crew and get ready for a great day of teams racing followed by a BBQ on Saturday 4th February 2012 at Mannering Park (that’s Saturday week).

As usual, MPASC’s great hospitality will be on show ashore after the race with a BBQ and a few drinks along with the race 1 presentation well worth attending. MPASC will provide a shuttle boat and there are a number of moorings available for team SLMASC to raft up on.

So come on …. SLMASC needs YOU. Hope to see you in the winning team next week.

Smooth Sailing

Team SLMASC


PS: Race 2 in the interclub series will follow on Saturday 3rd Mar 2012. Reserve the date and book you crew up now.
