If you like single handed sailing and the lightship, ping me to hear about the most prestigious single handed event to the lightship this year
 
Don't be a tease, just post a link. Can a prestige event be a secret?

I still don't know what we are talking about. But it reminds if of the epic marketing promotion for "Spinner Island Race Week" on S/A all those years ago.

OMG you can still find the NOR: http://www.regattapro.com/documents2010/SpinnerIslandNOR.pdf

Hmmm, this gets more interesting all the time.
I'll jump in and ask questions later.

Nat, my rating is 111

Are there any (other) OYRA season singlehanders accepting the ZYC Challenge on Saturday? FUGU? LIBRA? OSCAR?

Or those willing to pay one more OYRA single-race fee? DOMINO? GRACE? JOUJOU?

Nightmare has an idea ...

Assuming the recommissioning projects are completed [mast should be stepped today], Domino will be there to defend the title.
I did not sign up the whole OYRA season, for reasons that are likely obvious...

Bump. The OYRA entry deadline is 1700 today.

FUGU says there's a 50/50 chance you can shoot two birds with one ukulele (or something like that).

Tom Boussie (Capo 30 JouJou, PHRF 123) plans to accept the ZYC Challenge at the expense of OYRA #9. The OYRA have been very supportive of singlehanded participants this season, but I foolishly did not sign up for the whole season and the SRE fees have added up.

One note: the OYRA #9 race looks to be starting off the StFYC with the first division warning at 9:40 AM (https://www.jibeset.net/show.php?RR=YRA_T006148269&DOC=si&TYP=pdf). Only 5 divisions, so they will all be off by 10:05 AM, but still want to stay out of their way.
 
The gnormous Mod 70 ORION is scheduled to start (with one other multihull) at 10:05. They need a lot of runway to get rolling and that's the time the ZYC boats will be near the StFYC starting line, so watch out!

Well DM has a new tiller, so if they run up my stern and dent it I'll be upset.
 
Thanks Nightmare - I have you down.

we will actually use VHF frequency 71 not to conflict with OYRA and move everything 5 min earlier so start is 0955 instead
