To All - Just a gentle reminder that now is the time to get your PHRF renewed if you wish to race this year. Go to www.hryra.org >> PHRF RACING >> 2017 HRYRA & PHRF APPLICATIONS >> then follow the instructions, write your check, and drop it in the mail. Remember that in order to be scored you 1) must be a paid-up member of the Cruising Fleet and 2) have a 2017 PHRF as listed on the HRYRA web site. Any problems or questions please contact me or Racing Fleet Captain John Michael. Race Patrol Duty Each year the Cruising Fleet is responsible for providing Race Patrol assistance at selected events. We rely on volunteers, but if the list cannot be filled then we must start assigning folks for specific dates. Here are the current outstanding dates which need to be filled now. First come, first served: Monday, May 29th - Laser/Sunfish Regatta Sunday, June 4th - Magnus Pederson Regatta Wednesday, June 21st - Wednesday Night racing Sunday, July 2nd - Guy Moulton Regatta Wednesday, July 26th - Wednesday Night racing Wednesday, August 16th - Wednesday Night racing Wednesday, August 30th - Wednesday Night racing Sunday, September 3rd - Labor Day Regatta The good news is that if you are a racer, and volunteer to be on Race Patrol, you may ask to receive your average score for the season for that event. For those that don't race, being on Race Patrol requires no advanced training, lets you spend a lovely day/evening on the water watching other people make mistakes, and helps your Fleet fulfill a major Club obligation. Please note this is a Fleet obligation, not part of your Club work service obligation. If you can't make your date, it is your duty to find and arrange for a replacement. Our first race is Wednesday, May 3rd, 6:30 starting time. See you on the water. Lee Luce Cruising fleet Secretary
