Racing Shedule set
The schedule for racing in 2010 is finalized. Neptune participates in two racing series each year
Wednesday nights – J/22 fleet: 12 May –> 25 Aug (6:30pm)
Friday nights – Anthony’s PHRF: 11 June –> 27 Aug (except 2 July)
Race starts at 7:05pm. Boats leave the dock at 6:30pm
Both series are held in north Lake Washington where we regularly sail.
In addition, we have organized seminars on spinnaker handling and racing rules/techniques the last few years. This year we plan to have seminars on Friday May 21st and June 4th. These sessions are informal seminars conducted by volunteer Club members. Contact one of the organizers this season: Dean Shipman or Dan Mathews if interested. You are not required to attend the seminars if you want to crew/race.
Racing is open to any member of the Club. The Club encourages all interested members to participate. There may be no better way to understand the dynamics involved in sailing than to compete.
The Club does have a set of rules and policies regarding racing to encourage participation, maximize safety, safeguard Club liability and minimize boat damage. These rules are posted on the web site www.neptunesailing.org. Click on Members to get to our blog with current info and policies.
If you are interested in racing, the best way is to sign up on the signup sheets posted in the Clubhouse (Cave). Next best is to contact one of the organizers this season: Dean Shipman or Dan Mathews
Details:
- The Friday night series is PHRF with one triangular 7 mile race with multiple class starts run by CYC click here for info
- Wednesday nights are VERY informal but can be intense. Club members usually set the course and run the starts. Anywhere from 1-4 other J/22s will show up to compete against our stellar fleet. We try to get in 3 and up to 5 short windward-leeward races.
