Hello Michael,
Thanks, that sounds a splendid event, but it's not for me I'm afraid; I'd need to cross the Atlantic first.
I guess you got my details from the Albacore/my fleet list. Sadly my Albacore, #952 died some seven years ago and I've been trying break free of that list pretty much ever since, with no success so far. So please take my address off your database. More importantly, I hope your Potomac adventure is a great success for all concerned.
Cheers,
Robin Dickeson

> Subject: Potomac River Downriver Challenge Wednesday Night Series, 2014 Edition
>> For the Second annual Downriver Challenge, Tom Berlin and I will actually try to make it down the river.
>> On the 11th, 18th,and 25th of August, I will be running a SCORED Wednesday night series on the Potomac, with AWARDS that is going to be a little different from the normal Wednesday night series. Each evening will have a total of three races. The first two races will be the normal around the buoys. The third race will be a distance race, from the docks to the flashing no-wake mark approximately 1 mile down the river towards Alexandria and back, assuming there is enough breeze. The items governing the series are below:
>> 1. AWARDS: First place: a plaque and a ten dollar Starbucks gift certificate, donated by WrenchMasters Auto Service of Rockville, MD. Last place: A twelve-pack to the skipper who sails all races. Awards will be awarded on the last Wednesday night of the series. Must be present to win.
>> 2. The series is open to any boat sailing in the marina on a Wednesday night. If multiple fleets are involved, the scorer will score using Portsmouth corrected time. Alternatively, for large fleets, such as Lightnings or Albacores that have more than three boats, there may be a prize for each fleet.
>> 3. The first start shall be at 6:15pm, on the water, off the dinghy docks at the Washington Sailing Marina. No Le Mans starts.
>> 4. This will be a low point series in accordance with the 2013-2016 RRS, with the following exceptions below.
>> 5. Every boat must have a skipper and a crew. "Crew" is qualified as a person capable of performing the duties typically performed while racing sailboat, regardless of their skill. Dogs, toddlers, mannequins, coolers and such do not qualify as crew.
>> 6. If you sail with the same crew every Wednesday night, your points are doubled.
>> 7. If you pick up crew or rotate crew off the dock, your points are halved.
>> 8. If you sail with a family member, fiancé, or other blood relative, or your family member, fiancé, or blood relative sails on another boat in the series, your points are halved.
>> 9. If you have won a World Championship sailing event in the month of August (any year), your points are automatically tripled.
>> 10. Protests will be heard by a Protest Committee designated by Michael Heinsdorf or Tom Berlin and must be heard that night. To avoid inconveniencing the Protest Committee and to prevent the spread of West Nile, Protests shall be he heard and judged at the after sailing venue chosen by Diane Goebes, and the Protestor and Protestee shall be responsible for buying the Protest Committee dinner.
>> 11. Michael Heinsdorf (mheinsdorf at gmail.com) or Tom Berlin will make all final decisions regarding this series.
>> Look forward to seeing you on the water!
