Gents,
From the last VARC Meeting…for the Awards Night they need the winners names to put them on the trophies. This could be interesting, they could use our results or they could use their own version. I suspect they would like to go with their results…in which case congrats to Ed on their brilliant 2011 win!!!

Ahh yes,


Our crushing defeat ! I will now refer to you all as “my people”. I would appreciate you referring to me as “the champ” or just “champ” in the event we are in a casual setting.

I would like to thank my sponsors, family, friends blah blah blah. Without them this wouldn’t have been possible. I’d like to thank Burrard Civic Marina for taking 4 grand away from me every year and shutting off all the water at the end of September.

I’d like to thank Catalina yachts for building my custom, one off racing machine. Don’t bother trying to find another one of those boy’s – it just not possible.

I’d like to thank BMW for their stickers – without them hanging on for almost ½ a race, I wouldn’t have been scored either. I’d also like to thank Karelo – without me registering for DCYC and Fraser lightship via their nifty paypal service I woulda been up shit creek without a paddle as well.

Ahhhh – it sure feels good when you take home all the hardware and you know deep down it’s because of your superior sailing skills and team work, not some totally obscure scoring discrepancy.

Until we meet again ………..

The 2012 Season: Schedule, Scoring, Ratings

The 2012 Schedule

1. [April] : Spring Regatta (FCYC) - 2 days
2. [May] : Popham Island (WVYC) - 1 day
3. [June] : Round Bowen (BIYC) - 1 day
4. [July] : Summer Regatta (VRC) - 2 days
5. [August] : English Bay Scrample (TCYC) - 1 day
6. [Septemeber] : Deep Cove Regatta (DCYC) - 2 days
7. [October] : Fraser Lightship (RVYC) - 1 day

Scoring

• Low Point Scoring (winner = 1 pt, second = 2pts etc)
• Best six-out-of-10 "racing days" above..
• Only boats who participate in the minimum six races will be considered "championship boats".
• scoring is based on all boats in the race - not just championship boats.
• DNC = the total number of championship boats + 2 (regardless of the number of boats in the particular race)
• eg. You may miss a race with 2 boats in it and get scored a 12 for it!
• i.e. the value of DNC will not be final until the very last race
• most likely DNC will be in the 7-10 range; i.e. participation is key: do not miss more than 4 races!

Ratings

• PHRF 200-250
• Div 6 is 169-199
• Any boat +/- six seconds off a rating limit can request to participate in the division; come have a (case of) beer with us and we 'll see how it goes :-)
