Skippers and others,
I'm not sure what is going to happen in Division 3 (non-spin). So far only 1 boat has been assigned there, but there are a few that might join there. At this point we will probably have Plurabelle always starting with the Div 1 boats and sailing the same course in case we later merge her in with Div 1. PHRF ratings aren't really meant to be used combining spinnaker boats with non-spin boats. If we don't get more boats in Div 3, the Race Committee will try to come up with a solution that is as equitable as possible.
See BYC website for the results for the first Summer Series race (6/4/08).

Skippers and others,
The Race Committee is sorry that we took so long to get the Summer Series NOR and SI's out to you, but we have been furiously emailing back and forth to try and get the best wording ever in both of them.
Of course you should read them over carefully, but let me note a couple changes that may interest you.
1) 8.2 We changed the percent of races counted from 60% to 70%.
2) Section 6 has been updated to better reflect what we have been doing for the past several years.
3) Section 7 has been tweeked a bit from the last May SI's.
4) Division splits are left like last year, but the Race Committee may elect to put boats that fly asymmetric spinnakers in with the sprit boats. They may choose to do the same for really fast sport boats, like the Mumm 30.
Attached are both the Summer NOR and the Summer SI's in both MS Word and pdf formats.
