PLYC Fleet Captains (4 Buoy) Fiasco Race

Point Loma Yacht Club has generously invited Challenged Sailors San Diego to participate in their Fleet Captains (4 Buoy) Fiasco Race this coming Saturday, 5/16/15.  This is a fun race in which you choose your own course around the four buoys in any order and any direction!   This is a great race for new or less than serious racers.  

A special one-design start for the Martin 16s will take place shortly after the noon start for the spinnaker and non-spinnaker classes.  In order to get to the starting area in a timely manner, we will meet at Sunroad Resort Marina, Dock D at 11:00 instead of our usual noon time.  

After the race, everyone is also invited to PLYC at 1880 Harbor Is. Dr. for the after-race party and awards presentation.

The Sailing Instructions (SI) and Entry Form are available at http://www.pointlomayachtclub.org/Fleet-Captains-Race.html.  PHRF requirements are not applicable since we will be racing as a one-design class and the entry form may be turned in at the after-race party (at which time you will know your sail number).

Come enjoy a fun, informal race in the north bay.   Send an email to scheduler@challengedsailors.org to sign up for sailing on Saturday and reserve a Martin.
