Get ready to register for Corinthians starting tomorrow, Sat. Feb. 6

Registration for the SSS Corinthian Race will open on Feb. 6 in the AM. Please READ below carefully since priority will be given to current SSS members first.

Sat and Sun race registration will be for current SSS members only.

But, on Sat and Sunday, you may elect to become an SSS member and register for the race.

Monday & forward will be registration for any single race entries (in other words non SSS members) or those who may have missed the Sat and Sunday opportunities.

Corinthians will be open to both Singlehanded and Doublehanded entries.

There will be a 150 boat entry limit.

There will be NO waitlist.

The start and finish will be at the X buoy off the GGYC sea wall.

Course is GGYC “X” start, Blackaller, Southampton, Little Harding, Blossom and GGYC “X” finish. (RC may set up a second course (but similar) to separate SH & DH divisions, TBD).

Thank you and if you have not done so, remember to contact YRA early to renew or apply for a 2021 PHRF certificate.

Hi there!

I am a solo sailor and that's how I found out about The SINGLEHANDED sailing society. You know on my computer browsing device...!
I haven't paid for a membership hoping for a day that I'll be back to work (yes on weekends).
Your races: Round the Rock, 3 Bridge etc gave a good turn to my unemployed Covid year. Thanks for your hard work!
And I was really looking forward for the next one: the Corinthians!
Not sure that when it will be my turn to sign up on Monday morning that I will get any room left for my registration...
You pick your rules, you should follow up on that.
It's just look like that two third of the fleet will be DOUBLEHANDED oh dear Solo Sailing Society!!!!

Anyway, how do I do for the Round The Rocks 2021?
Should I look forward with that RR in mind as a singlehanded sailor without a membership?
Thanks
 
Membership

Hi Boulouf!
I think you will find that the membership is actually a pretty good deal. For $145 you get free registration all the SSS races for the year - 3 bridge, Corinthian, Round the rocks, Singlehanded Farallons, Drakes Bay, Vallejo 1-2, and Half Moon Bay. That's only $20 a race! It's the best deal in racing, if you plan on doing all the races. I mention this because I'm not sure if you knew this was the deal.
Best

Hi Bombora,

Indeed, it feels like a deal!
But the boat is not yet meeting the Ocean specifications...
And mostly just planning a race at the time while looking to get back to work !
Anyway, we've got the Estuary tomorrow!


Thanks

Not much room for hope! The 150 are there!... Just asking about Round the Rocks and if the registration gets the same way! But I can just keep training and learning for next fiasco!

Fair and fun winds for you all!

( If there is a need for help at the comite, happy to volunteer)

Did you mean to re-open the Corinthian Race registrations? Entries are up to 163 now.

Huge fleets work with the drawn-out 3BF starting sequence, but not so much with normal sequences. And I guess we're back to combining SH with DH?
 
Whoa! Slow fat Dura Mater in the same race as Shadow? In the same Raccoon Strait as Shadow? I looked it up: " [Extreme 40s] have a top speed of about 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph) and can sail at about 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph) in 20–25 knots of wind ..." The Moore 24/Pirahna fleet of doublehanders is one thing. Two people on an Extreme 40 is a whole 'nother extreme. This will be interesting.

Also, is Michael Chammout commodore at Corinthian YC now?
 
Jackie, our class is looking pretty tough right now. Miz Synthia Eyrie will be out. There goes one of the top three spots!

That's too true, Alan. But Synthia doesn't barge the start. She doesn't have to. And she's very sensitive about the way she hightails it into the future ... and beyond. With a smile over her shoulder to the crowd.

I'm also never around when she throws up that spinnaker. Maybe they'll change the course so the singlehanders circle Blackaller last and she'll get to do it again ... Ms Eyrie? What say you?

I say that I would very much encourage the RC to separate the SH & DH fleets. And it seems a reasonable option to send one fleet to Blackaller first and the other fleet to Blackaller last.
 
Some January and earlier paid members were shut out due to the short window and 150 cap. We made a few openings available for them knowing some attrition will occur by the Skipper's meeting. Nothing worse than selling more opera tickets than seats.
 
Attention NON members who would like to race Corinthians Feb. 27 without becoming a paid season SSS member, we invite you to register single or doublehanded starting Monday a.m., Feb. 15. Sixteen spots available until the adjusted 180 cap is reached.

If you don't have one, remember to get your PHRF certificate at YRA or BAMA asap. That's a requirement by the end of Feb. 24, same day as Skipper's Meeting.
