BLUSTERY EVENING
Finally we had predictions for good wind with minimal
decrease through the evening. In
anticipation of great wind, we swapped our jib to the 135. As we left the harbor we were ready for an
exhilarating evening. Many boats were
out and, despite our efforts to get people to use the Regatta Hero app, only a
fraction of boats used it. Despite these
problems we were able to include boats in the results with their reported
finish times.
For the first time, with the help of Regatta Hero and a lot
of wind, we called for a different course for each Fleet. Fleet A sailed course W3 with a distance of
3.75NM and Fleet B sailed course W4 with a distance of 2.7NM. Both fleets got off for a clean start.
Most boats sailed the correct course and we all enjoyed the
blustery evening!

COURSE CARDS:
There was some confusion with a boat using last year’s
course card. Tuesday Night Sailing
produces a new course card every year trying to improve and evolve. The 2025 course card has been left on every
boat in the fleet. Make certain your
course card is labeled “2025”. The color
of the card this year is a bright orange.
REGATTA HERO:
This app works well.
I encourage you to install the app on your phone and enlist in each
Tuesday Night. This app, in the replay
shows where you made errors as other boats move ahead or behind you. When used, it constantly shows the PHRF
adjusted results for your boats in relation to the other boats that are using
the app. Very useful information. For instructions on how to install the app,
refer to last week’s blog post.
RULES:
Though we are a developmental series, it is critical for all
boats to know and follow the racing rules of sailing. It is Tuesday Night Sailing, supposedly a fun
event. When rules are broken it destroys the fun. If you don’t know and follow the rules, you
should not be sailing on Tuesday nights!
The more accidents that happen seriously impact participation. With forces that are at play, broken boats
can be a minor issue if serious injury or even death of crew occur.
Last week I was setting up for a starboard tack start and
approaching the S/F mark. There was a
boat well beyond the mark that was obviously not going to make the mark so I
was not concerned. Then the boat tried
to make the mark sailing straight into the wind and stalling, falling off to a
port tack right in front of me. I
(following Rule 14) steered to starboard to avoid collision. Unfortunately, I steered right in front of a
larger boat resulting in serious damage to my bow pulpit. Thank God there was only
$1200 (cost of new bow pulpit) of damage.
If my forestay was taken out there could have been multiple deaths with
the mast coming down in crowded waters.
Despite your most fervent racing enthusiasm, YOU MUST FOLLOW
THE RACING RULES OF SAILING!
