Wednesday Night Series 1-2

Results ( Series 1 - 2 )

Corrected Time ( Series 1-2 )

Let me start with the most important information:  YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO SIGN UP FOR RACE COMMITTEE.  After that, Jonathan will assign primary and secondary race committee teams for the first series.
 
It has been an unusually stormy spring causing a lot of damage to the clubhouse.  Because of this we will be unable to have Wed night dinners for the next couple of weeks, but there will be 10 Wed night dinners (as we had last year), but they will be delayed. We will announce when we commence Wed dinners again and the dates of these dinners will be announced ahead of time.
 
A big thank you to our race committee members of Jonathan Stewart, Spencer Gay, Kyle Stadele, Mike Powell, Will Brown, Ryan Jones, Norm Barns and Missy Jaeger.
 
Don’t forget to sign up for RC, now a word from our Scorer:
 
Hello Everyone! My name is Kyle Meyhoefer and I've volunteered to help out with scoring this year. Dana will be helping as I transition in, but if you have concerns or correction requests feel free to reach out to me as well!
This week we kicked off what has already proven to be an eventful Wednesday night series. We had to wait a week due to the storm damage that affected us, and wait again for the wind to fill in this week. However, a patient and prepared race committee led by Jonathan Stewart and Spencer Gay knew it would fill in and sent us on our way as soon as it did. The delayed start to the series had everyone itching to race and that was evident by the spirited starts in many of the fleets. 
Congratulations to the winners in each group this week:
Low Cruiser: Greg Cash, Impetuous
High Cruiser: Jim Chambers, Wind Spinner
Melges 24: Michael Lenkeit, Rapscallion
Large Sportboat: Matt Dollacker, Maverick
Low PHRF: Sean O'Connor, Meraki
Mid PHRF: Bailey White, Griffin
J-24: Dana Stewart, She-Devil
High PHRF: Kyle Meyhoefer, Highlander
Something I like doing each Wednesday night is calculating the corrected time per nautical mile for each boat to see where I rank against boats in other fleets. Yes, conditions change between each start and generally the faster boats are still on top, but I think it is fun to look at, so I thought I'd share. This week, the light air and persistent left shift favored the asymmetrical sport boats but we'll see if that changes as the conditions change. 
This week, the fastest corrected boats on the water were:
 1. Michael Lenkeit, Rapscallion - 16 min, 21 sec per Nm
 2. Matt Dollacker, Maverick - 17:01 per Nm
 3. Jeff Freeman, Renegade - 17:12 per Nm
Congrats to everyone on a gorgeous first race of the year! Looking forward to seeing y'all next week!
