North Sails Owners Champs - The Last Word Pre Racing

Published Fri 11 Nov 2022

Hi all,

The rain dance did the trick and the weather looks like it will play ball tomorrow for what is a very competitive fleet and a sign of good things as we build post covid and into the Nationals

  

A few quick reminders and updates

  1. The "source of the truth" for, notices, race docs, entrant list, results etc is the Young 88 Event page https://www.young88.org.nz/events/141031/
  2. An amendment has been posted to clarify re discards 
  3. We encourage all boats to high tail it straight back to BBYC after racing so we can get Prize Giving done promptly with time for a proper dockside debrief, "hand tacking" banter and BS session before hand :) .
    • There will be a free BBQ and sponsors product dispensed via Babe's latest bit of race enhancing kit. ........
    • We will allow absolute minimum time for boats that have to scarper to Westhaven to still get to BBYC in time
    • Space has been set aside in marina on berths 315 and 319, on the West side of most western pier three about halfway along. Can probably get 2 boats in each berth, first backs in the second forward. We can park a couple of boats directly in front of the club beside the RIBs and in front of Ara-Tai but MUST not block the launch Soprano on Pier one.
  4. Please fly the sponsors battle flags on the way to and from racing to help with promotion.
  5. This is a one turn penalty event so if you cock it up fix it up.
  6. If you feel wronged don't whinge in the bar, lodge a protest and we all might learn something
  7. Lastly a reminder that sailing is not a contact sport so let's be careful out there

See you on the water

Cheers

Mike and Gavin
