Chris,

Evelyn and I could help on sunday with our 24' powerboat. We were the judges boat last year at the Thistle nationals. We will be racing our Rainbow on Saturday morning, but at this time Sunday is open. Let us know if we can assist for the one day.

On the calendar, there is a thistle regatta scheduled for august 20-
21.

while initially I thought there would be no interest in the class to
come to the event, I've since heard otherwise. I have a handful of
boats that are interested in coming and racing on saturday and sunday
in michigan city that weekend. somewhere in the neighborhood of ten
boats. if you are interested in supporting the event (committee boat/
chase boat) please let me know. We ideally would need a committee
boat (can be a sailboat) and a mark set/chase boat. We will race
windward/leeward courses, so we will only need two marks.

Courses will be short, 1/2 mile legs. racing will be in the afternoon
of the 20th and the morning of the 21st.

Boats planning on coming are Chicago, Indianapolis, Bloomington boats.

thanks for any and all support !

-Chris

Jennie,

I have no experience with the "golf" handicap method, but I have read about it and thought it would be an excellent concept for a group such as MCYC. I'd be happy to participate and help in any way in setting it up. I assume you are pretty good with a computer to do the handicaps now, but if you decide to try the "golf" approach and need assistance I am a fair hand with Excel.

This editorial comment ran today in "Scuttlebutt."  Golf
Handicapping could be a way to increase the fun factor for our club
races.  To read more about the concept you can visit:
http://www.ussailing.org/phrf/golf.htm

* From Matthew L. Thomas (edited to our 250-word limit): I'm always
interested to read the debate about handicapping, but I think we
often miss the point. Rating systems are designed to allow different
boats race against each other. Racing hones sailing skills and binds
clubs together. Therefore, any system that encourages more people to
compete is a good one. I'm a pro sailor, but these programs
represent only a small part of the sailing community. Too often,
it's not much fun for recreational sailors to compete against us.

I'm a firm believer in having all local, club racing run under
a "golf" handicap system. This forces the good guys to stay on top
as every time you do well, your rating increases. It encourages the
recreational sailors to show up as they now have a realistic chance
of placing. It also encourages the good sailors to work with and
sail with the average sailors. This gets more sailors on the water.
More sailors on the water, sailing regularly, helps everyone! Sells
more gear, generates more club membership and increases the fun
factor!

Golf handicaps work because it encourages the average sailors. They
can race a few times, get a rating and sail a half decent race and
place high in the pack. Suddenly, this is fun. Now they start to
look at to how to do better ... invite better sailor's to sail with
them, buy new sails, fair hulls, etc. This is what a rating system
is supposed to be doing! Getting more people competing!

Tonight's Beer Can Race includes a special requirement ... each boat
and her crew must complete a simulated-man overboard recovery while
on the course.  (Please use a floating object as your "man").

US Sailing recommends using the Quick-Stop method.  If you want to
learn more about this recovery technique for both full crews and
short-handed crews visit:  http://www.rorc.org/programme/mob.php

A link to this site is also permanently posted in the "LINKS" area.

See you on the water!

Hi,

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the person or
persons responsible for installing Phil'$ Dock Rock by the Tipsy Kitty
this past weekend. The rock will be a wonderful depository for any sail
racers desiring to bribe the time keeper.

By the way - Geronimo didn't bribe me on Saturday when I pointed out he
might want to check his course. I waited until I was resonably certain
he had sailed himself out of contention before I hailed him. The
gesture was somewhat self-serving because I expected he would want to
sail the entire course correctly and I didn't want to stay out on the
water excessively long while waiting for Geronimo to finish.

Hey,

I may be able to help us both out.  I actually am
looking for a truck to bring up a trailer (500 pds)for
my sailboat to Mac Island on Sunday and I could bring
all your cruising gear as well.    On Tuesday Night/
Wednesday/Thursday I would load the boat on the
trailer and then either I could have someone drive the
trailer + truck back or you could drive the
boat/trailer home and I would pickup at your place.
Let me know if this is a possibility.

Thanks
-Justin Neal

Sorry I am replying so late I would be happy to help. I have had a very busy work week. I can be reached at home tonight 630-653-4341 or over the weekend at 630-881-6157. We will be out racing so I will not be a lot of help for any setup during the race, but we could help before the race.
