<br>A note on the schedule (item 2): There are fewer races on the bay this year due to the AC action and the Sarcoma Cup we did last year will not be held. Below is the proposed schedule for the 2013 season (sorry for the crummy format). For the white sails series, we would like to make it so that skippers can miss 2 race days and still be competitive for the overall classification, so we would like to have 5 throw outs. Currently, we have 11 races, so we would like to add at least 2 more. An option would be to add the 5 races of the Nationals to the white sails series. Another option would be to do something on the estuary.
