EYC Friday Beer Can Cancelled June 7th -

From the 2024 Fawcett's Friday Night Beer Can Series event:

Eastport YC Fawcett's Friday Beer Can Competitors

Due to a conflicting event that is being hosted this Fri-Sun by EYC, the US Sailing Match Race Qualifier, we are cancelling this Friday's Beer Can race (June 7).  The match race boats will occupy the EYC marina docks, making it extremely difficult to launch EYC boats for a Friday Beer Can race.  We have rescheduled this race for Friday August 2.  Thank you for your understanding and support.

2024 Fawcett's Friday Night Beer Cans Series - SIs Posted -

Hello 2024 Fawcett’s Friday Night Beer Cans Competitors!

We have a few items to note.

    1.  Race Committee posted the SIs; the document is attached to this email for your convenience.

    2.  We urge everyone to take a few minutes to review the content – both the written text & the course diagrams.  We want to call your attention to the fact that COURSE G and COURSE H have been revised.  In the past, courses F-J were designated when conditions favored a first leg heading up the Severn River; however, while courses F, I, & J had their finishing leg also heading up the river, courses G & H had finishing legs heading down the river.  In situations when some classes sail one course and the others sail a different course, there existed the possibility of boats finishing simultaneously while heading in opposite directions.  To address this safety concern, all courses now finish in the same direction in which they started.

    3.  Don’t forget – we intend to post on the Official Notice Board the Class/Order of Start designations by 1900 on Thursday, 16 May 2024 (per SI 6.2).  Additionally, a competitors meeting (via Zoom) is also scheduled for the same evening at 1900 (per NoR 6.1).  We that you - or a crew designee - will join us.

    4.  ONE-DESIGN CLASSES.  As of this moment in time, the scratch sheet reflects there are 3 confirmed OD classes:  Cal 25 (5 boats); Harbor 20 (7 boats); J/30 (5 boats).  However, 3 classes remain short of the minimum 5 paid entries:  J/80 (1 boat); J/105 (1 boat); & Viper 640 (4 boats).  If the minimum number of paid entries is not reached, boats in those classes may race in one of the PHRF classes ONLY if they have a valid 2024 PHRF of the Chesapeake certificate.

The first race of the season is nearly here – we look forward to seeing you on the water very soon!
