Memo:
Regarding Changes to the Lake Simcoe Interclub Series race
schedule.
Two modifications to the LSIS race schedule will be in place
beginning with the 2012 series.
The first change is to
the June 23, 24 weekend (Races #3 and #4).
Instead of beginning Race #3 at Kempenfelt Bay Yacht
Club and racing to Cook Bay as in the past, both weekend races will now be
sailed/hosted at Cook Bay Yacht Club. If weather and wind
conditions permit, Race #3 might be a long
distance race (TBD), possibly around Fox Island and return to CBYC. The Sunday
race is scheduled to be a course-race, around the marks, as usual. Accommodation
will be available at Kon-Tiki Marina as usual with rafting in the marina and
anchoring out options for the larger boats with deeper keels. Also
Crate’s Marina across the bay is available.
The second schedule change impacts Race #6 on Sept.
1st.
Additionally, starting with the 2012 season, the first race of
the Labour Day weekend will be a standard around the marks type race in
Kempenfelt Bay, hosted by and sailed at KBYC , followed by the beginning
of the race #7 to Hawkestone - hosted by
Barrie Yacht Club. (Race #7 will get underway somewhere between
KBYC and BYC). Reservations for moorage at The City of Barrie Marina (KBYC)
should be made well ahead of time, and there will also be rafting room at
BYC. Races #8 and #9 will be sailed as usual from Hawkestone, with a longer race on
Sunday and a shorter around the marks races on the Monday. (Sept 2 &
3rd respectively.)
The LSIS Executive is pleased to announce
these improvements designed to enhance the strength and appeal of the LSIS
summer racing program.
