Series 3 Sailing Instructions

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!

Series 1 Race 5 Results

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Tue, 07 May 2019 23:35:57 -0700

We had 28 boats out in wind that started out okay and died down to nothing.  A and B fleets struggled to finish shortened courses, and the P fleet managed to make it around the normal course.

The series came down to very close competitions, we had a two-way tie in the B fleet, and a three-way tie in the A fleet.  The scoring and ratings seem to be bringing everyone into the mix.

Congratulations to the SMYC Juniors who won the race tonight, and the series in the B fleet in their Santana 20, S Cape Goat.  It is great to see the kids out racing and coming by the event after!

We had the traditional 5th race in a series Steak and Bake Potatoes dinner, the house was packed and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Keep your eyes out for the new SI for Series 2 which will be published shortly.  We will be starting at SS for the next 4 series, so make sure to leave time to get out to the start line.

Thanks everyone for supporting the Vic Smith Tuesday Night Trials!

We had 23 boats out in nice steady wind for a quick race.  All classes finished without any shortened courses.  We had quite a bit of fireworks at the start in the P fleet which made for interesting conversation around the video screen watching the replays!  You too can take a look and decide what you think about the starts thanks to our wonderful drone pilot and photographer Merrill - THANKS MERRILL!

What a busy night!  We had stuffed peppers in record numbers, and all were consumed summarily.  We had drone footage of the race again available to be watched by the racers, what a great thing that is thanks Meryl!  We had 2 protest hearings, and a MDRVMF fleet meeting.  By the time all of that was done, most people had left so my sincere apologies we could not announce the winners while the room was still full, but the protests needed to be heard.   The bylaws previously posted here were adopted, and shortly we should have a MDRVMF bank account, so we should be able handle payments in a more convenient way for you all.

We had 25 boats in shifty inconsistent wind that died to nothing while the slower boats came in.  B fleet sailed a shortened course.  I posted a few versions of preliminary results that had errors in them, so look at the results again.

We had several errors in various versions of the results that have been posted. I believe we finally have all the corrections in one set of results. Please review these results again, as I have made changes this morning (some changes correcting other errors were in two different versions of the results). I think we have it correct now, apologies for the confusion. All the previous links will be linking to these new results.

I have been working through some email problems with the outgoing email from this server. I seem to have resolved them, and now the outgoing email is being routed out through Gmail. The address you will get email from this site will be redmatrix.us@gmail.com - you should not need to check in your spam folder, but if you are not getting email from this site, please check your spam folder. You probably got a couple of messages today that have been routed through different services as I tried to solve this problem, but I think sticking with gmail is the best for simplicity's sake.

This should resolve the problems with some people not being able to get the verification emails to make accounts, and some of the email notifications when I tag people in announcements for results etc

If you tried to make an account before and had problems, try again as the email verification should work now.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and hopefully this will take care of the outgoing email problems.

We had 25 boats out in a nice consistent wind that got us all around the course, no shortened courses.  We had a well received Lasagna, garlic bread, and Caesar salad dinner.  Here are a couple of notes:

The RRS provides for a 2 turn penalty for break any part of rule 2 (when boats meet), so port starboard, windward/leeward etc. requires a 2 turn penalty in order to clear a protest claim.  Hitting a mark or sailing past the no sail buoy line requires 1 turn.

In case anyone cannot find them further down the page, here are the links to the SI and NOR again, there is one set of SI for series 0 and 1.
