Hi Racers,
We would love to get your input on the proposed schedule options. In the
past, the Championship Series consisted of the BYC Wheeler Regatta and the
YRA Spring and Summer Series (typically 15 races). In addition, this year
we have been invited to join the Classic Boat Racing Association (CBRA) as
well as the RYC Big Daddy Regatta; throw in the Great Pumpkin, and that's
29 races. For those who enjoy the slot, the CBRA schedule offers the most
Central Bay options.
As a comparison, the Cal 20's Championship Series includes 29-31 races with
7 throw outs.
Before we commit, we would like to get your input on the schedule. (See the
attachment for the races, dates and locations.) Below are some options. We
need a minimum of 5 boats signed up for each to have our own OD start. We
are seeing an increase in the number of participants, especially for Jack
Frost... we have 13 boats signed up!!!! Yes, 13!! We would like to continue
the momentum. Please take a moment and review the options, or suggest
alternatives. Also, make a recommendation for the number of throw outs.
Option 1 - Wheeler Regatta and YRA Spring and Summer (15 races)
Option 2 - Big Daddy, Wheeler, YRA Spring and Summer, Great Pumpkin (21
races)
Option 3 - Big Daddy, Wheeler, CBRA, Great Pumpkin (17 races)
Option 4 - Big Daddy, Wheeler, YRA Spring and Summer, CBRA, Great Pumpkin
(29 races)
Option 4 is an enthusiastic schedule, but it has a lot to offer. The number
of throw outs shown on attachment is only a suggestion. (This is the number
of throw outs in the Cal 20 series.) If we increase the number of throw
outs for this option, everyone wouldn't have to sign up for every regatta
or series but could still be competitive.
Please provide some input and feedback before March 24. Our goal is to have
the schedule posted by March 26.
Also included on the attachment is the newly titled "Long Haul" series;
formerly the "Spinnaker" Series. It is anticipated that spinnakers will be
used for these races; however, if a boat wants to do these races without a
spinnaker, we can make an adjustment to the PHRF to make them competitive.
Adjustment to be determined based on participation.
Please note, in order to be counted in the Santana 22 Championship Series,
fleet membership is required and must be paid in full for the year.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Cheers,
Deb Fehr
