Fall Series Race Day #5

November 11, 2009

The next race day is this coming Saturday, November 14.   This is our last race day of the fall series.

Cool temperatures look to prevail, but with any luck we will have some breeze.  Hopefully less than last time.  Robby seems to be the wind prophet, so we’ll look to him for a prediction.

Skipper’s meeting will be at 11:00am on the dock at Hell’s Canyon Resort Marina.  Racing will take place west of Red Wolf Bridge.  Racing will start at NOON.  No races after 4:00pm.

Join us for pizza and story telling at Fazzari’s after racing (5:30pm)

Faith on the Rocks

October 25, 2009
Yesterday we entered the big boat in the fall series Saturday race. I had two first-time sailors, and one Christian Rinke as crew, and my daughter as stewardess.
The winds were gusting up to about 23 knots apparent on a windward beat and wind direction was—well, kind of from the west but changing every few yards.   It was definitely a race for us – with the crew racing from one side of FAITH to the other in an attempt to sheet in the genoa.
Even with the cool wind, the crew was getting a hard workout and working up a sweat.   Our boat was doing really good in the race:  The other boats were still less than a full lap ahead of us. (more…)

10/10/2009 Race Results

October 23, 2009

The days racing started and ended with little to no wind however 4 boats showed up and gave it their best shot. Race one was a slow fiasco with Tim somehow having a zephyr over his boat most of the way. It was like he had a wind finder in place of his wind vane. The rest of the fleet was unable to find enough wind to finish inside of the time limit and had to take DNF’s

Race 1
Skipper Boat Name Finish time Start offset Handicap Corrected time position
Jeff Hanson Mac/Venture 25 Vindr Knifr DNF 103.8 5
Greg Umbright Aquarius 23 3 Ring Circus DNF 5
Robbie Johnson Newport 28 Pneuma DNF 5
Tim Lynch SJ 21 Coir Jaot 64.89 5.00 101.1 59.24 1

Race two had similar wind to race one with Tim again having the wind finder on board. The rest of the fleet finished this race though and got some kind of a score.

Race 2
Skipper Boat Name Finish time Start offset Handicap Corrected time position
Tim Lynch SJ 21 Coir Jaot 58.40 5.00 101.1 52.82 1
Robbie Johnson Newport 28 Pneuma 65.83 5.00 92.9 65.48 2
Jeff Hanson Mac/Venture 25 Vindr Knifr 79.18 5.00 103.8 71.46 3
Greg Umbright Aquarius 23 3 Ring Circus 82.47 5.00 106.6 72.67 4

Standings for week two:
