COOLIO!

(Normally said in front of my daughter's friends to make them roll their eyes - I have no shame.)
 
Starbuck is in. I'm not sure I would do singlehanded spinnaker on short W/L courses, now that I'm back to symmetric kites and the 13' pole. But if it stays as one big shorthanded division, I like that I could mix it up and sail with one or two, spin or non, on any given day.
 
David, yes I saw you stick it in the ooze but I thought you got out under sail. Bummer. I thought I had just gone right through the same spot. Starbuck draws 6.4'.
 
Well, 6.5' is what the sounder said. I thought I drew 6'. The mudbank is very steep there as you can see if you can be bothered to look closely at the chart, as I did not. I fired up the motor right away as I knew the tide was going out. Oh well. Usually I am religious about staying inside the marks! But tacking my 150% is so expensive and I was trying to save myself two tacks exiting the river. Oh well live and learn. Or not.
 
It looks like we'll have enough boats for two informal divisions within BYC's Shorthanded division. We'll probably have to keep track of that ourselves. Maybe I/we can even cook up some prizes!

Thanks - keep 'em coming!
 
Trophies: From a previous event plan - we had every one who was willing donate old trophies from any sport. A few mods were made, for example a bowling trophy had a beer can inserted on the top, removing the bowling ball, and we had a very unique trophy set.

Singlehanded / Doublehanded or Sporty / Slug?
 
I was thinking blue boats vs. white boats, and we'll take STARBUCK.

Oops, I forgot about STINK EYE. Maybe blue boats vs. red boats since there AREN'T ANY white boats signed up yet!

I get it now. We have non-white hulls because we are willing to commit to a color. We're into commitment.

(Still no white-hulled boats signed up for the shorthanded division.)
 
Great Dirk!

The consensus in this thread suggests (sub)divisions of singlehanded non-spinnaker and doublehanded with spinnaker, unless the consensus is we don't care. There could also be shorthanded entries who haven't seen this thread.

Looking good though - we have six paid entries so far:

So, I signed up for Sunday races only. Are those the races everyone is planning on?

Thanks,

Yes. (Apparently, I couldn't just reply "yes" because that message was too short according to the forum, and so now I post more jibberish -- who makes up these rules?!)
 
Indeed it is! Will this be your first race with the new boat? Are you thinking SH or DH?
