Hello SSS Racers!
There is no SSS race in November, but I do have several "Public Service Announcement" topics.
* We are still working on dates for races, with an intended date for Fiasco of January 25, but the YRA calendar coordination meetings are still ongoing. The dates will be published in the YRA Calendar in early December.
* Current YRA PHRF certificates are required at SSS races, with very few exceptions. Those can take a while to get, especially in the run up to Fiasco and Corinthian. Please reduce stress on yourself, YRA, and us, by ordering your 2025 PHRF certificate in early December.
* If you are buying new sails this winter and you want to make life easier on race committee volunteers, at all your races, there is something you can do. Please ask your sailmaker to ensure your sails have numbers in a strongly contrasting color, of a good size, meeting the rules of Appendix G. For example, dark carbon sails with dark blue or dark red numbers can be very difficult to read, which makes scoring you harder.
* If you are winding down your racing, please consider becoming a race committee volunteer for one or more SF Bay clubs. It is a good way to stay involved, and put your experience to good use by giving back.
Thank you for racing with SSS.
