Not sure what what happened to the Wednesday evening racing - next year perhaps?  Summer is over, and back to school is here

MBYC J22 Bogue Series - June 12, 2011

Race Officer Mallasch

4 races, no throw outs.

Every year there is a special place in the calendar for the Bogue Lagoon.  An area underused by J22s as a fabulous sailing arena, it is so close to the club that it makes a great alternative venue for racing by introducing shallows, shifts, islands, jelly fish, the Houseboat restaurant, more shifts and marks that are set in all sorts of random places!  The calendar reserves two days for such a special event but at the 11^th hour the RC usually calls for a one day event, sometimes with memorable lunch stops on the beach.

This year was strictly racing but with RC Mallaschs organization the marks were out in the right places (eventually) and the weather was perfect (NE 8 to 12 knots, 0 knots at the windward mark)

Race 1 started at the club, around the end of the peninsular, past Secrets, into the Bogue lagoon and to the finish between two floating marks.  What wasn’t apparent to the boats entering the lagoon was that the marks were hidden behind one of the islands….

Race 2 and 3 were simple sausages inside the lagoon

Race 4, the Return, reversed R1 course back to the club.

Thanks to Dockmaster Mike for setting the marks, although the windward mark was perhaps a little to close to the bushes?

Kingstonian Ian Gibson was put hard to work on Calypso with Eddie to great effect.  They nearly managed to break the 3 way tie for 3^rd place.  Nice to see more kids on the water with the young Pinchas on Renegade boxing above his weight.

Results are final

MBYC J22 Spring Series - Day 2, 3 races March 29, 2011

Results are final

Overall after 6 races

Race commentary this week from veteran Past Commodore Mallash (ed. was out sick that day and had a substitute skipper on Renegade (thanks Troy!).  

"Attached are the results. Zipper made it a non-spinnaker day and all agreed. Awesome was helmed by Frank's son with 3 youth sailing crew, Defender had Jim, Eddie and 2 youth sailors, Zipper had Jeff and 3 youth sailors, your boat had a crew of 3 youth sailors and no youth sailors were left over for Ayahso who had our 4 man yellow shirt guys. We advised Yvonne on Saturday that we would like to have one youth sailor with us.  It was a great sunless day with quirky winds, a goofy 3rd race start and rain caught us half way through the 3rd race.  Winds were all over the place from easterly to westerly and during the second race we recorded 6.2 knots up wind.  Winds were from 8 to probably 15 knots with very flat seas.  Peter really set a good windward leeward course and Mike put the windward mark about midway between the reefou got into one time and the outer green, and in trying to fetch that mark during the second race Ayahso grounded out with 3 good bumps, but got out by the skin of our teeth. Jim was following and was quick to   realize the trouble we almost got into and avoided the bumps.

Great to see the interest from the young ones!

MBYC J22 Invitational Series - Day 1, 3 races May 8, 2011 (for all the mothers)

Action packed with imported talent on Zipper in the form of Hank Brown no less who was able to remind Peter about clean sailing and sportsmanship....  Spinnakers were dusted off and with a lot of kids apparent (thanks to the Harts and the Farquharsons!) the race was interesting!  Breeze started light and everyone was in awe - how do you do this again?  We haven't sailed in light breeze this year!  Of course half way through the first race 15 to18 knots kicked in and gears started changing.

Race officer Peter kept the racing in the channel where the shifts continue to be hit and miss.  Breeze going left so keep left, right?  Wrong.  Knocked over here, so tack and take the lift?  Wrong again........  Defender flew her flag past the leeward mark trying to catch some of the anchored boats and Calypso demonstrated the wrong way of shrimping with a new spinnaker around the rudder.....  How is it possible to have so much fun legally?

8 to 16 knots, 3 short races, start, outer green (p), inner red (s), finish.  Well done all.

Oh, and a big thank you for all the sailors who stayed for the AGM.  Couldn't have done it without you!

MBYC J22 Spring Series - Day 1, 3 races March 24, 2011

Results are final Quiet day with 3 boats on the water, but what a day of racing.  Zipper and Renegade were so close that Zipper's new paint job was flinching.  Lots of overtaking, no spinakers again which allowed / created more tactical thinking downwind.  Well done Ayahso for hanging in there and being 2 points off at the end of the series!  We used the same in channel race, upsetting a freighter during the first race (he was graceful enough to leave our windward mark behind).  14 to 18 knots, shifty.

MBYC J22 Spring Series - Day 1, 3 races March 10, 2011

 Controversy back at the club when Zipper decides in race 2 that by doing an entire extra sausage she could then argue that no one else completed the course.  If Bob ever gets to use the inadmissible evidence on his GPS and show that Zipper was correct then Jeff gets to buy a beer for his boat.....

MBYC J22 Winter Series

Ok Ok some of the earlier results from January are missing but it is what it is so there.  Well done Peter and thank you Patrick!  

18 to 24 knots inside the bay between the inside green (yikes) and the steel hulled semi sub with the pointy things out the back (yikes), the boats were VERY close together, probably because of the no spinnaker option, some great racing with a lot of position changes.  Well done to all, thank you!
