Series 5 - Race 2 - Possibly no SS

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 09:56:47 -0700

Hi All,

If SS is not on station, we will start at the south break wall, where we finish. The start line will be where the finish line usually is. Please be aware of the danger of pushing people into the break wall and understand you must give room and space for all boats to stay clear of the rocks at the start.

I will make announcements on 71 about where the start line is before the race.

Thanks!

Series 5 - Race 1 Results and Updated SI

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 22:37:05 -0700

Hi All.  We had a light wind that actually picked up nearing sunset, so everyone got around the shortened courses quickly.  We raced a shortened course in all classes, only going to windward mark 1 time and heading to the finish after SS(s).   We had 13 boats out tonight.

The SI are being updated, the only change is that the SS rounding will be to (s) both times.  I had a skipper tell me they had a close call with this rounding being to port on one lap and on (s) the next, and had a situation where a boat was rounding to port when he needed to round to starboard and that was not safe, so that is how it will be for the rest of this series.

FYI, I saw a picture of SS at the Del Rey dock, so may not be on station tomorrow. Don’t know what the contingency plan is, but may be worth having one.

Series 5 - Sailing Instructions

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 05:25:40 -0700

Here are the sailing instructions for Series 5.  Same idea as last series, but shorter courses.  We are still limited as far as I know as far as which marks we can use.

We are going to need to pay ASMBYC for using the marks.  It is going to end up being $1050 for using the marks this season.  We have the funds in the treasury to cover this, but we will need to work something else out as far as the fees and doing some fundraising to cover those costs going forward (or work out using our own marks etc.)

Hi All.  I apologize for the confusion and chaos that has been my life for the last few weeks and that these results have been so long in being published.  I am grateful I did not get sicker with Covid and everyone in my circle of family is healthy and okay.  My life was already impossible for me to keep up with when I got Covid, and it has just been an exercise in trying to accept that many things cannot be done since then.  I apologize for any inconvenience I have caused any of you in trying to keep up with this and failing.

It is almost certain there are still things to be corrected about race 4.

If your finish time is not in race four, please text me at 760-475-2959 and I will get your finish time added and just keep updating these results as I get all the finish times for race 4.

I only have one boat in the P fleet for race 4, I am almost certain this is not correct.  I believe everything for race 5 should be correct.  I abandoned adjusting the handicaps for races 4 and 5, as it is just too much to do with this way of trying to compile the finish times.

Thank you Dan and the Mistral crew for taking care of starting race 4 while I was sick.

I am now going to try to get the SI out for Tuesday and Series 5.

Series 4 Race 4 Instructions

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 20:44:35 -0700

Racing on Tuesday will be held as scheduled, subject to the following modifications.
Start times for A and B fleet will remain at 6:00pm and 6:05pm respectively. Start time for P
fleet will be moved to last and will be at 6:10pm. This means the first warning will be at
5.55PM, after a brief heads-up call. All times will be based on GPS time. Mistral will be running
the start sequence, and will attempt to make hails for these sequences on the water and by
VHF on Channel 71. There will not be any flag signals for these starts. The start line will be
between SS to port and a floating mark (probably a fender) to starboard. Mistral will be on
station for the A and B start to observe over-early boats and will attempt to hail over early
boats on VHF71 (do NOT be over early). Note that the start line is between the two floating
marks – Mistral is not part of the start line. For the P fleet, Mistral will also be starting but will
be calling over early boats from on the water (do NOT be over early).
Boats shall take their own finish time as no RC boat will be on station to take finishes. Finish
times should be based on GPS time, as per the SI. Note that, as per the SI, a boat will not have
finished until it has rounded the breakwater. Finish times should be emailed to Michael
McKinsey, along with the name of any boat finishing just ahead or behind. Boats not reporting
a time will not be scored for this race. No check-in is required for this race – though Mistral will
be maintaining a radio watch on VHF71 if assistance is required.

Series 4 - Race 3 Cancelled

The Marina del Rey Venture MacGregor Fleet

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 11:39:00 -0700

Hi All,

Sorry to say, we must cancel the race today. I have come down with pretty severe flu symptoms since last night, and I cannot find a Covid test that would give me results before the race. I am fully vaccinated, but it would be irresponsible to expose the RC members given the break through cases etc.

Apologies for any inconvenience, we do not have the resources to run the race today.

I will get tested ASAP and hopefully if the results are negative before the next race we will resume for race 4 as normal.

Thanks for your understanding!

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 09:57:08 -0700

Thanks to everyone who came out to race!  We had a solid, steady wind through the entire race.  We had 16 boats out and all classes raced a full course and made quick time.

Thanks everyone for announcing when you are approaching, it helps the RC keep everyone organized as they approach the finish.

Every competitor must have a radio and monitor channel 71 during the race.

Please fly class flags.  We had boats starting in the wrong sequence and with no class flags we cannot identify who is starting in which fleet.  It is also not fair to competitors to not be able to identify if the boats around the starting line are in their fleet or not, as the interactions are different between a boat in your fleet and a boat that is out of position near the starting line from another class.  Also, please stay clear of the starting line when you are not in sequence and another class is.

I'd like to send a friendly reminder to everyone to respect stand-on-vessel rules and to be corinthian in spirit. I'm not sure why anyone would jeopardize smashing into another boat especially when they are not the stand-on vessel. Please practice situational awareness and have someone on look out at all times. Thanks.

Strong winds, was gusting near 20 knots. We had 2 boats dismast (Seaweed and Mea Ono), there were no injuries that I know of and everyone helped out and got the boats back in safely with the help of the lifeguards and the Sheriff boats. Thanks to everyone who helped out with that, the coach boat with the juniors was especially helpful.

Hi All!

Great wind last night, we had 18 boats out, all classes raced full courses and got around in good time.

Thanks everyone for checking in and announcing you are approaching, it helps the RC a ton when everyone does that.  For the few racers without radios, please get a radio on the boat and carry a back-up if need be.  We rely on the VHF for communication and safety in these races, and we really need to have the radios on and being monitored by the racers.  Thanks!

We had a theoretical protest that did not actually materialize last night.  To resolve the issue of protest, the sailing instructions state you must inform the PRO in writing of your protest within 1 hour of finishing.  Here is the process to do that:

Download this form - PROTEST FORM
Print it out and fill it out (if you don't have a printer on your boat, print the form out now and keep it with you), and then take legible pictures and text them to me or email them to me (contact info is on the SI).  You only have 1 hour from the time you finish to get the form to me.

I will call a protest committee together via zoom and/or phone and work it out electronically, probably while we are trying to eat dinner after the race.

Please remember that you must inform a boat immediately if you are going to protest them (they need to be able to decide if they want to do penalty turns etc. at the time, so just telling them/me later is not sufficient).  You also need to be flying a red flag and make sure they know you are protesting them (in theory if they will respond on VHF you might be able to get them to accept that as notice, but they are not required to listen to you on the VHF for the purpose of a protest so you need to be letting them know on the water immediately).

Here are the rules for anyone not familiar - https://www.racingrulesofsailing.org/rules?part_id=31

We have not had a lot of protests in these races, but this is how I will handle them in the future FYI, try not to need to have them, but when we do, we will take care of it this way.

Series 3 - Race 2 Results

We had 16 boats out on an evening that started with decent wind but fell off.  All class raced shortened courses, P fleet replaced V with S as the windward mark in the second lap, and the A and B fleets ran a single lap to S.

I had to make an adjustment to Race 1 in the B fleet to add Europa's finish.

NOTICE TO ALL: VHF monitor of channel 71 is required at all times during these races.  Shortened courses, and all other necessary information, will be hailed across the VHF.  Please carry a backup radio when you are racing if you have any doubt about your main radio.

Hi All,

Nice wind on the new course. Marks were missing, I will be updating the SI to use marks that are actually there for the rest of the series (hopefully the marks on station will stay there). We had 21 boats out, lots of problems with the virtual marks etc., hopefully that will not be an issue once we update the courses.

Hi Michael, this is Marcy Rye of Europa Santana 22 sail #5099 SMWYC ... we heard you acknowledge us checking in. And we got a horn at the finish at 7:26 pm (we didn't capture the seconds). We were waving our arms at you because our radio conked out. We tried to announce our approach but it didn't work. We finished right behind the Star boat. They rounded the breakwater pretty close to it as we sailed parallel to the beach towards the south entrance, finishing maybe a couple minutes or so after them.

Also, Crimson Star, whose finish time was 7:31, was behind us and did not pass us in the channel until we were almost at Burton Chase Park - and we were under sail (no engine on the boat). And Ono, who finished at 7:29, caught up to us in the channel just before where the boat docks start. Catherine and Lee should be able to confirm.

Hi All. I was going to try to not use the marks, but it is just not possible for me to get a mark set boat ready in time, so we are going to use the marks. I will contact ASMBYC and make arrangements to get payment to them for using the marks, and we will need to do some fundraising to cover the costs.

Hi All. Apologies for the late posting of these results, I have had one emergency after another and some personal issues that have made it difficult to get these out. I will do my best to post results the night of the race or the next morning, this was a difficult week for me. We had 19 boats out, the wind was non-existent at the start, so we shortened to S for P and SS for AB. The wind then came up, and everyone finished quickly.
