[PYC-News]PYC Volunteers and Sailors needed
by Amy Pullin 05 Oct '21

05 Oct '21

Race Committee, Mark Boat and Safety Boat volunteers needed for 10/16 We are looking for a few more RC volunteers for the Robin Starr Handicap Race and the Charles Birch Memorial Race. Robin Starr Race volunteer duties are similar to the Commodore Race held on Commissioning and the Mid-summer Race. It is a distance race scored using the Portsmouth handicap. Volunteers are needed to set a starting line and time/record finishes. A few Safety and Mark boat drivers are also needed. Generally, volunteers arrive around 11:30 and racing should be done by 3:30-4 (or earlier, depending on wind). Dick Hutchinson will be Chairing this event. The Charles Birch Memorial is a PHRF event for cruising boats. It is part of the Tri-Club River Race Series (Essex Yacht Club, Essex Corinthian Yacht Club & Pettipaug Yacht Club). Ed Birch will be Chairing this event. Fielding two RC's on the same day is a bit of a push for our club. Please consider volunteering for the last events of the 2021 season. Please use this link to sign up to Volunteers for RC for Robin Starr and Charles Birch Memorial, Saturday, October 16th<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SeqSDqmzN_j35vsPH1pTKYAM3Z0XUjvjwRM…> Starr Race If you plan to sail the Robin Starr Race, please sign up in advance. I plan to sail the Robin Starr<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d1klzdCvtacU-Wlr6AfQBHNhQPjuvI3dXQs…>. The Robin Starr Race will be held on Saturday, October 16th. The Skippers meeting is at noon and the water start time is 1pm. This is a distance race scored using the Portsmouth handicap. The course is typically 3 - 4 miles. Depending on the wind direction, boats will sail around a buoy north of Essex Harbor, north of the club and back to the club. The race can take anywhere between 1 - 3 hours based on your boat, skill and luck. All Pettipaug sailors are welcome. We had 26 boats at the summer event and a tremendously talented RC. For this race there will be a separate division, with their own start, for the Scows. NOR and Sailing Instructions will be available shortly. Decommissioning, awards and potluck will follow Tri-Club River Race Series 2021 The Tri-Town River Race Series is three PHRF races hosted by Essex Yacht Club, Corinthian Yacht Club and Pettipaug Yacht Club respectively. There are awards for each individual event and a Tri-Club Trophy for the winner of the Series. The series is a great end of the season race opportunity for smaller PHRF boats. The foliage should be beautiful and the water smooth with fewer powerboats. A Notice of Race describing the Charles Birch Memorial Race and an entry form are linked below. NOR's and entry forms for the EYC Willets Memorial Regatta on 10/2 and the ECYC Clark Memorial Race on 10/9 may be found on their respective web sites.
