Winter Series
Coming Sunday we’ll be back for the winter series.
Last season the winter series had a bit of a reset and we had more boats racing than in previous seasons and it was great fun.
Racing is 11:00 Sundays 19 & 26 May and 2 & 9 June, so you can still plan afternoon things, you’re not taking up a whole day of the weekend.
Crews
-
Getting crew – or willing skippers - is more difficult.
-
This is exacerbated in Div 1 that sail with bigger crews.
-
We’ve reset “Crew Matching” in the sailing hub, so if you are available to crew or looking to crew, please add a listing.
-
We’ll also put weekly updates out on WhatsApp about boats that need crew.
-
Handicaps will generally not be adjusted for crew changes in this series, and it doesn’t affect your handicap for next season.
Good Simple Racing
-
Clubhouse starts are planned which means less time getting to the racing area.
-
The actual courses will be set for the conditions and who is racing – So we will have a mix of course format options and as we get a picture for the day we will be able to work out what’s best for the fleet.
-
One comment we are mindful of is to have good racing but manage complexity / intensity if boats are sailing with less, new, or less experienced crew.
-
1000 briefings for 1100 Warning signals – about 70 minutes racing, on the shorter side if the conditions are difficult.

Social / Clubhouse
-
After racing, try out our F&B offerings for sailors on the deck!
-
We will offer hot buttered rum or hot soup - both for $6.
