Thursday Night is Race Night

I am in the midst of trying to organise an informal race night at the local lake.  Its only 3 minutes drive away and that makes it perfect for after work sailing.  Hopefully the wind will play ball and be a solid force 5 every Thursday night.  However, I would be happy with 6 knots and it will be good to get some competition in.

The plan is for very informal racing with no limitations on kit as the idea is to get people on the water and going round a course.  If people want to take it more seriously then I will look to organise more formal classes and rules, but for the moment I think it will be enough for people to get some competition into their sailing.  That said, the club has a number of Starboard Rio boards and we could perhaps use those as a semi-one design class.

I am also planning on taking the race series to a couple of coastal venues and maybe we can see if people want to enter any of the BSA series races.
