STYC “Take Your Time” Racing Series
There’s still plenty of time to get in
on the fun at the STYC/Ullman Sails "Take Your Time Fridays," Golf Handicap Racing Fleet (GHRF), a series of laid back races on Shilshole Bay every Friday evening during the months of July and September. Participation is free to all - just be willing to have fun, get the course and start times online, record and post your finish times. Here’s how it works: go to the
STYC web site (
www.styc.org) by the Wednesday before your first race and register, providing all requested information on our simple, menu-driven screens. One registration will suffice for the entire year, regardless of how many races you actually make. Prior to each race, visit the site (Friday after 1:00 pm) to view the day’s course and start times. The start line is between the North
hamburger buoy and a white painted rock near the north end of the marina breakwater. Since there will be no committee boat present, start and finish times will use GPS time, and the honor system. If you’re over early no one is going to protest you; just turn around and clear yourself on the line. No yelling, protests, or aggressive racing. Good clean fun and safety are the main objectives. Race every or any Friday, whatever
fits your calendar. If you don’t have a PHRF rating, tell us what kind of boat you have, the condition and size of your sails, if you live aboard, etc. and we’ll come up with a rating for you. Remember to check back in on Friday after 1:00 pm to find your course and start time for that night. As you are finishing the race, record your GPS finish time and post it on the STYC website. That’s it, efficient, easy, and relaxing. The next time you plan to race,
check back for your course, start time and your corrected GHRF rating. Boats that win will have their rating knocked; boats that lose will have their ratings improved. The idea is to have each boat be able to compete, and have a chance to win. Don’t worry, this will have no effect on your established PHRF rating. The GHRF rating will only apply for this series off Shilshole and only against the boats in your class.
Mid-Sound Summer Social July 8-August 12
Three Tree Point Yacht Club and the
City of Des Moines Marina is sponsoring the Mid-Sound Summer Social. The evening of casual racing, socializing, light meal and refreshments on the dock, and prize awards will be held on six consecutive Thursdays beginning on July 8, and ending on August 12. All are invited to participate in the on-the- water racing in cruiser, beginner, and competitive abilities. Boat owners who are not Yacht Club members are definitely invited. There is no racing entry fee, and participants are encouraged to come to as many nights as they can. Each evening’s on and off the water has an entertaining theme. A special evening for power yachts will be August 5th, see the
www.ttpyc.org for details. Because of donations from our major sponsors, we will be providing for evening light meal, as well as donated prizes for the drawings to be held each evening. Prizes are awarded for participation and achievement. Racing starts at 7:00 pm and dinner at 8:30 pm. Besides the fun and camaraderie, this
philanthropic event will be fundraising for Hospitality House and the Des Moines Food Bank. The individual goal is to raise $8,000 which will support four women through their three month program. The goal for the Des Moines Food Bank is to fill two vans with food. Visit
