Rick,

Your dates are Jan 15 - 18 .... which is Friday - Monday. Do you have anything planned for Monday or did you really mean 15-17?

It is Fri thru Sunday. Sorry. Monday is ML King Day, and should be great for getting back home.

We are definitely going to satisfy some of the complaints of running apples and oranges on the same course.
There are going to be two courses -- one, for the spin boats, A Cats, etc that like Windward/Leeward Courses, and a second for Waves, H16, and boats like that.
AND, since we don't have to get off races for so many classes, we can now use Rule 26 for starts, which is Class Flag at 5 min, Prep and 4, Prep down at 1, and Class down at start.
And now it is officially a three day regatta. If you cannot make it on Friday, your average scores for the rest of the weekend will be applied to the missing races on Friday.
Should be a great regatta.., and as you all know, we never have a shortage of wind. Can anyone remeber EVER having a drifter in the Keys?

not more than one or two races while the tradewind filled in.

It seems that at least one of the two days (Steeple, Tradewinds, etc) have more than enough wind, and one is lighter.

APPENDIX J
NOTICE OF RACE AND SAILING INSTRUCTIONS
See rules 89.2(a) and 90.2. The term ‘race’ includes a regatta or other series of races.
J1 NOTICE OF RACE CONTENTS
J1.1 The notice of race shall include the following information:
(1) the title, place and dates of the race and name of the organizing authority;
(2) that the race will be governed by the rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing;
(3) a list of any other documents that will govern the event (for example, The Equipment Rules of Sailing, to the extent that they apply), stating where or how each document or a copy of
it may be seen;
(4) the classes to race, any handicap or rating system that will be used and the classes to which it will apply, conditions of entry and any restrictions on entries;
(5) the times of registration and warning signals for the practice race, if one is scheduled, and the first race, and succeeding races if known.


C'mon Rick, there's only 5 things that have to be in an NOR and you missed 4 of them.

Who's the organizing authority? (See Rule 89 for definition and requirements.)

Under what rules will you be racing?

What other documents apply? Class rules for boats racing one-design?

What classes will be racing and what handicap system will be used? Are there any restrictions on racing?

First flag? What's that? Do you mean the warning signal? (I'm giving you this one.)

The days are long gone where you can just throw up a flyer and say "Let's have a cat race!" You need to be better organized.

Ouch, I'm guessing Matt's not comming?

What we really need to know is, where is Tom Korz going to have his rolling party bus parked?

Rick,
Thanks for working to make the event better this year.
2 courses, 5 minute starts, and 3 days all make me want to try much harder to get to this event.
We are hoping to do both but Steeplechase was the priority as you sail the race no matter what. With 3 days of racing at tradewinds we can afford to allow one to get blown out.
Looking forward to seeing you down there... I think you can expect 3-6 boat from the New England fleet. After a busy summer we are all hurting a bit financially... including me but as always want to do some winter sailing in they keys.

It's a pet peeve of mine too, when Tom won't park it in my driveway!

but heck... I only bitch about the lack of class designations.

For pete's sake... you know what fleets you had last year... What's changed to lead you to believe that more or less will show up?

If a class fronts up two weeks before the event and says... We have polled the members and promise 10 boats and expect 15... change your NOR and publicize the change.. Otherwise, how hard is it to publish last years racing fleets as this years NOR Fleets?

The NOR is a lot like a contract...You spell it out... the invited classes are expected to deliver sailors. When both sides deliver... everybody is happy!

Matt loves everyone, it's just a rough and tumble kind of love.

All Classes are invited. In the NOR I mentioned the classes that are having either their midwinters, or of major series.

It would be helpful if you have a class that would attend, to let me know by email or post here.

F18's will be there. At a minimum it will be the same number as last year, but probably more.
