V15 Sailors,
After a great weekend of long beats and big fleets on the city fleet, I want
to remind people of the Random Pairs Team Race being held on Saturday,
September 8th. It will be a great day of casual, short-course team racing in
the cove. See the NOR below and let me know if you have any questions.
Remember you don't need a team, just you and your boat. The rotation will
assign you a new teammate for every race.
If you are planning on sailing, please sign up on the website so that I can
get a handle on how many people will be attending. It should be a great time
and I hope to see you all on the water.
-Matt

Report Time: 11:00 am
First Race: 12:00 pm (sharp)
It was recently suggested that having a random pairs team race at TI would
be a great way to get a lot of people team racing in a unique and low-key
format (thanks for the great idea Archie).
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format, random pairs team
racing is 2 vs. 2 team racing in which each boat is paired with a different
teammate and opponent for each race. After a number of rotations, boats will
be ranked according to winning percentage and top placers will advance to a
short Championship Round to determine a victor.
This is a great opportunity for experienced team racers looking to
get some boat-handling and boat-on-boat practice, as well as for people who
don't have a steady 3-boat team or are somewhat new to team racing
altogether. This will be a fun, casual day of racing on the cove with BBQ
and beverages to follow.
It is anticipated that a very modest entry fee will be required to offset
costs of food/beverage, etc (more details to follow).
It would be great to get a good turnout for what should be a very fun day of
sailing. Please signup on the V15 website if you will be
participating: http://vanguard15.org/schedule/437
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with me.
See you on the water,
Matt Hooks
