NEW
SEASON DOCUMENTS
Attached are three documents
regarding our Tuesday Night Sailing this year. Please print the application
form and fill it out completely, signing the waiver. I have included
space for email addresses for crew members if they want to be notified when new
blogs are posted. The fees for entry are slightly higher this year:
$40 for members and $55 for nonmembers. Please make checks out to Santa
Cruz Yacht Club and either drop it off at the club or get it to me if you see
me at the boat. Please enter the PHRF from your current PHRF certificate.
I am still working on the new course card and will get one to you after it is
done and your application is submitted.
The current situation with weather and
shoaling is a big unknown. Keep checking your email to stay current on
start times. The SCYC buoys should be in place sometime in April, so we
must conduct races like we do during the winter months. This means
starting over by Gov rather than the usual summertime start area.
I am looking forward to another great year of
Tuesday Night Sailing.

COMMODORES REGATTA:
The Commodore’s regatta will be Saturday
April 8 this year. You can participate
if you have a current PHRF certificate.
This should be a fun event with three divisions: Jib and Main, Spinnaker
and Multihull with a pursuit race format.
This means slower boats (larger PHRF) boats start first. Our Tuesday night participants will fit in
well with a division (Jib and Main) for us.
You can register online at SCYC.org under regattas.
