RIYC Regatta

Hey all… can you believe it’s August… just a few more weekends for J22 racing! Here is the laid back NOR for this weekend’s upcoming Saturday J22 regatta hosted by the Ram Island Yacht Club.

SCHEDULE: Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, August 9, 2008

Starting Area.............................................. In the vicinity of Whale Rock (between Mystic & Stonington)
Skippers meeting ...................................... 10:30 on VHF 79… rolling until first gun.
Warning 1st race ........................................ 11:00
Post race gathering RIYC. BRING THE KIDS!. 5:30

We have plans to do as many races as we can get in on Saturday with no race starting after 3:30PM. Starts will be 3 min starts, with the courses being some sort of windward leeward.

The fleet will provide burgers and dogs at the club… so please bring a salad or slide dish to pass. There will be no racing on Sunday due to the Parson Cup conflict.

If you have not registered yet for the summer series there will be a $25 fee… please make the checks out to FISJ22 and give to me when we see each other.

We have two, maybe three loaner boats available for this event. Please email me if you are interested. Hope to see you all Saturday and please plan on coming down to the RIYC sat night with your families even if you miss the sailing.
