We had 26 boats out in nice steady air through the whole race.  Dinner was lasagna, garlic bread and Caesar salad, and it held out until everyone had their fill.  The days are starting to get noticeably shorter, and we have our fingers crossed to get through this course for another week while we can still see.  Remember to get your running lights on at sunset.

Next week is the 5th and final race of this series, and as always will be Steak night!

Thanks everyone who is taking the time to clean their dishes off and put them in the dishwasher (or wash them after the dish washer is full).  Please remember there are no paid employees involved in the dinner, everyone is volunteering (which is why the cost is so little) and someone has to clean up everything that you do not clean up yourself.  Many people take a turn doing dishes and helping clean up, and those of us who stay around until the club is back in shape to leave (usually around midnight every Tuesday) really appreciate everyone who helps us out.

Another reminder, no outside alcohol should be brought into the club.  Please do not bring outside alcohol into the club as this endangers our ability to meet at PMYC after the races.  I am sure you know who you are, please stop doing that.

Thanks!

Apologies for not updating this sooner or getting the email notification out, I was traveling all week. We had 20 boats out in heavy air. We had grill your own fresh Mako shark for dinner, and it was quite a treat.

Hi All,

Sorry for the slowness of making this final results announcement for last week, has been quite a week over here (the provisional results have been posted on the site since Tuesday night, just getting around to sending the email).

We had 16 boats out, and we had stuffed peppers which were clearly outmatched by the crowd. Everyone seemed to get enough, but there was not much left at the end of the night, a good time was had by all!

FRESH SHARK TONIGHT: We are having fresh Mako Shark tonight, caught locally and fresh, this shark was swimming a couple of days ago. Thanks to Rick for working out the fresh fish for us. The menu will be the fresh Mako Shark, Rice, Caesar Salad, and Ice Cream. The total charge will be $8. We will be getting as close to 1/3 pound servings of shark as we can manage, and there should be enough to handle a large crowd at PMYC (but don't be late).

Please register for Chuck Stein #2 Random Leg (this Saturday):
PMYC needs your support, please sign up and participate in this race, there are lots of prizes from our sponsor Gaurhauer Marine.

We had 23 boats out in some shifty strange light air. We all completed normal courses as after if finished shifting directions it did keep us moving. So far there is a good balance in the fleets this series at 8-8-7. We had steak chili and cornbread with Caesar salad and ice cream. Everyone had all they wanted and plenty to take home, everyone seemed to enjoy it.

PLEASE SEND YOUR JUNIORS TO PMYC THIS MONDAY- A COUPLE OF SPOTS ARE OPEN! There is a new juniors program at PMYC designed for kids 7-16 that are brand new to sailing. We had a great first week and there are a few spots left for the next week. Our own Aiden is teaching with very small class sizes allowing for a lot of individual attention. At $150 for the week including the boats, this is the most reasonable program we are aware of (for MDRMF members friends and family, $175 for non-members). The program is 9:30am to 4pm Monday-Friday. Contact Aiden at juniors@pmyc.org to get registered!

We had 22 boats out in light air and relatively flat seas. We shortened the courses for all classes, and made our way around as best we could. Many steaks and many giant potatoes were consumed and a good time was had by all. I will try to get the new SIs up for the next series in the next few days.

We had 23 boats out in heavy air, and some decent sized seas.  All fleets sailed the full course.  We had fried chicken, ginger citrus slaw, Hawaiian rolls, and Ice Cream for dinner.  The food held out so everyone got their fill, but we went through some serious stacks of chicken and coleslaw, the heavy air and seas must have made everyone extra hungry!

Unfortunately, we had one craft that was lost during the race.  Our drone pilot @Merrill had to make an emergency landing on the other side of the jetty, and someone stole the drone after it landed.  We passed a pitcher around and were able to raise $260 toward the $1000 loss.  Thanks everyone who donated to the cause of replacing the drone, and if you missed the donation bucket, I will pass another one next Tuesday.  We all love being able to watch the drone footage after the races in the club and on YouTube, so hopefully we can chip in and help cover the cost for the lost drone.

The video is still raw.

If you find your boat, add comments with timestamps for easy reference again later. You can identify your boats much easier than I can... I just try to make them look pretty.

We had 21 boats out in strong wind that brought us all around the course well ahead of dark. There was a lot of confused short duration chop which gave many of us fits, but we did get around the course. We had chicken pot pie in great quantities at PMYC after.

Several of us are heading over to Transpac send off party, if you would like to join us here is the link for tickets:

We had 21 boats out, and for the first time I am aware of, with 3 equal sized fleets. Steady breeze brought all the boats around the regular courses. We had meatball subs and Caesar salad in abundant quantities for all. The days are at their longest and the summer is definitely in full force.

We had 22 boats show up and 21 actually start.  We had steady strong wind out on the new course and all classes got around the course with plenty of daylight left.  The stuffed peppers were defenseless against the hungry throngs, and we had very few left overs, but there was enough for everyone to get their fill.  Keep coming out to join us for dinner after the race, and bring your crew!

PLEASE REGISTER FOR CHUCK STEIN INVERTED START THIS SATURDAY:

Series 3 Sailing Instructions

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 07:28:19 -0700

Here are the Series 3 Sailing Instructions.  They are the same as series 2 other than the course, and a change in the spinnaker rules to clarify a question that was brought up about if boats can finish with a spinnaker or if the finish line is behind the breakwall and if we will penalize boats that decide to fly a spinnaker when it would have been against the rules if they are not racing any more.

17.1    Boats that would otherwise be allowed to carry a spinnaker to within 200 yards of the finish line will be able to finish with their spinnaker flying.  Boats that are no longer racing are not covered by spinnaker restrictions.

The notice of race has been modified to cover the situation if we have multiple races abandoned or cancelled in a series there will not be an exclude, and to clarify that abandoned races do not count as an excluded race.

7.2    One race from each series will be excluded if there are at least 4 races sailed.  Abandoned or cancelled races will not count as an exclude or as a sailed race.

We had 21 boats out in very light, shifty wind.  All classes had shortened courses and limped across the finish line.  Back at PMYC the grill your own steak night was very well attended and a good time was had by all.  The series competitions have been very close this year, in the B fleet each of the top 4 boats in the series are separated by 1 point per position, and we again had tie breaker results in the A fleet (a 2 way tie rather than three way tie as in the last series).  The competition could not be closer out there, the ratings adjustment system seems to be bringing as many boats as possible into the mix.

I want to invite some boats to move from the B fleet to the A fleet in the next series.  If I have any volunteers please let me know.  The faster boats from the B fleet should consider moving up to A where the handicap adjustments are less and the ratings reset to base each series (this benefits boats that are more likely to perform well in comparison to their base handicap).  If you are competing for the overall season trophy it would be best not to change classes, but if that is not in the cards for you this season for whatever reason such as not showing up for all the races, I would like to fill out the A fleet a bit.

There is a change from the provisional results to the final results, unfortunately I made a mistake in the calculations of the race in that I had left the default setting of strong wind, and when I put in the correct entry of calm wind there was a change in the order of the B fleet results.  After correcting the wind setting, Sundance finished one place higher in the race, which made them the second place winner for the series rather than in a tie breaker with Mea Ono.  None of the other results were changed as far as finishing positions, the times will be slightly different.

I will work on the SI for the next series in the next day or two and get them posted, so keep an eye out.

How time flies when your having so much fun!

Only one race left in series 2, the standings for the series are coming down to another really close finish.  If you are looking at the series standing and thinking you don't have a chance, remember there is one exclude coming assuming we get through the race next week.  The possibilities are endless, and there are many boats still in striking range in every class.

We had 24 boats out in light wind that turned into calm drifting at times, but held up enough to keep the boats moving.  Luckily the days are getting longer, and so we had time for almost everyone to get around the normal course.  Several boats lost patience with watching the marks approaching ever so slowly, but every class had most boats finishing normal courses.  The last boat to hold out to the finish line finished just before 8pm, sunset was 8:01pm, and the cut-off for anyone who has not scrutinized the SI is 8:30.  So there were 30 minutes left to race when the last boat that recorded a finish time crossed the line, so anyone who gave up on the course probably did so while they still had enough time to compete if they had wanted to.

Thanks everyone for coming out and supporting the races!  We are currently on schedule for the traditional 5th Monday steak night, but keep your ears out and pray to the deities that oversee the men and women who chase the bounty of the sea, for there are rumors if fortune smiles on us our dinner may be swimming out there somewhere waiting to be collected for us.  So either way, we will either have steaks or something even better.  I will keep you posted and you don't want to miss dinner next week!

We had 24 boats out tonight in steady wind.  All classes finished normal courses.  It turns out the E buoy was missing, I heard we will have a fresh buoy report before our next race so I will attempt to change the courses to buoys that are on station or get replacements in the water.  A reminder that as P fleet did last night the correct thing to do as per the SI is to round the GPS location where the mark should have been.  Please keep Corinthian spirit in your mind and attempt to keep the race as fair as possible when a mark is missing.

We had Fried Chicken, Citrus Ginger Cole Slaw, Hawaiian Rolls and Ice Cream for dinner.  The dinner was well attended and everyone seemed hungry - the food stood it's ground and in the end emerged victorious against the hungry throngs.

A good time was had watching the drone videos and discussing the rules about a protest that never was (1 hour time limit to file a protest).

I found some excellent videos on Rule 18, so if you want some more info on Rule 18 (when you must give other boats room at a mark) please watch these:

We have forecasts of unsafe conditions, and they appear to be coming true. As such we are cancelling the race for safety, and announcing it the day before so people can make other plans. Sorry for any inconvenience, dinner will also be cancelled.

Stay safe!

NOTICE TO COMPETITORS: If you have had results posted here with a non spin adjustment in your handicap, you may not use a spinnaker for the rest of the series (most boats in the A class other than Cross Fire, and Shibumi in P class, B boats may never fly a spinnaker).  For the P class, if you want to have a non spin adjustment in your handicap, and you have not yet flown a spinnaker in the series, you may elect to have that adjustment added to your handicap for future races (we will not be adjusting previous race results for these adjustments), for boats in the A class that have not yet raced in this series, if you want to use a spinnaker please let me know before you race so I can remove the non spin adjustment.  Please see the NOR for details regarding spinnakers and handicaps.

We had good wind that held up through the whole course, all classes finished normal courses.  It was great to be back out past the breakwall on buoy courses.  The season is well under way now!  Most everyone got around the courses as designed, we did have a couple of casualties to the new SI, with some people wondering where the starting line had gone and some people having trouble finding the right marks to go around, but I think everyone has their bearings now and we should be good for the rest of the series.

Please make sure to check this site for updates to SI before every race, and certainly be aware that the courses and more or less anything may change between series.

We had chili and fresh baked cornbread for dinner, along with our caesar salad.  We finished that off with some fresh baked cookies and ice cream.  A good time was had by all, please join us at PMYC after the races if you have not experienced the fun and camaraderie of the after race get together.  We also have had the blessing of drone footage to watch and go over in the club after the race of the race that has just completed, which makes for much discussion and cuts down on the percentage of our traditional "fries and lies" you can get away with over dinner after the race!  @Merrill has been kind enough to be posting links to the races here for us!  Thanks Merrill!

The drone footage now has a “Playlist” on Youtube so you can watch all the footage easier. Also, I posted the finishes from last week. (My apologies, I missed the first two boats, and the last boat across the finish line. My drone battery doesn’t last long enough to get y’all.)

Also, I’d love to be able to get more footage of the middle of the race. In order to do that, we need a chase boat. If anyone would like to volunteer to host a drone chase boat, I think we could get some really amazing footage for y’all. Let me know...

Cheers!
