Cat Folk,
The Skipper's Meeting has been held, the decrees have been made. Attached are the provisional updated SIs.
We're moving forward with the moving of the of the West River Catamaran Racing Association (WRCRA) Tuesday Night/Frostbite open class catamaran under the umbrella of the West River Sailing Club (WRSC). Thirty-five years of True Blazers Not Blue Blazers looks forward to the next 35! Details will roll out, but we're still going to be the same bunch of hull-flying wind in the hair sand in the toes sheet in and send it trapped out rapscallions we've always been! The action starts next Tuesday, be there!
Updates to SIs are to the selected channel for VHF communications - it is now 05 instead of 69, and to the on the water course shortening instructions, see below:
Old:

a) Lead boat makes the call on course change
b) One (1) long horn shall signify a course change. Lead boat shall deploy a bright flag to indicate course change/shortening.
c) After the horn the next race mark in the course will be the last turning mark.
d) Preferred course shortening marks will be identified at the skipper's meeting.
