4/28/11 - Water levels may impact us this weekend...

Percy Priest is way up.  The water is nearly to the top rail of the fixed part of the ramps.    Paducah is flooded, so the lake is likely to be held high in the short term. 

With such high water levels, the Sunday races are in jeopardy.  Galen is scheduled to do practice instructions, if we can get to our boats.

Stay tuned for further announcements.

Sunday May 1st - Galen and practice starts!

We encourage newbies to come on out and join the fun.  Galen will do some chalk talk while I set up the course.  We will have two starting groups - the experienced folks will start first with a Red flag.  Then the newbies will start by themselves with a Green flag.

It's really not a intimidating as it might appear.  For the starts you just need to remember a few rules:
  1.   Don't run into a boat in front of you.
  2.   Boats on Port tack need to stay out of the way of boats on Starboard.
  3.   Windward boats need to keep away from boats below them. 
The following week is Mother's day - no racing.

Then May 15th is the GOOR! Followed by the Touch of Class.  This will be a great opportunity to get some practice starting!

Need a PRO for the Good Ole Open Regatta

How about a J22 that is not going to the regional race?  Somebody else who hasn't run a race in a while?

It looks like we are going to have  very nice S2 and Northstar 500 fleets, so I'd much prefer get someone from outside those fleets. 

Most likely we will have both buoy and distance courses run at the same start/finish line.

I'll be calling and laying a guilt trip on you, if somebody doesn't step up to the plate.

We need some people to run the races the next 2 weekends

This coming weekend (4/10) we are scheduled to do buoy racing.  However, this is the weekend of theTennessean, so a simpler distance race would be in order, unless someone steps up to do race committee.  Can somebody take control of this weekend?

The next weekend (4/17), we are scheduled to do a "Family Fun Distance Race" followed by a pot luck supper.  We need somebody to step up and take ownership of this event.  How about someone who doesn't normally participate in weekend races? 

The 4th weekend we will be cycling through the fleets for management of the Sunday races.  Shoot, maybe even Chuck Trotter would come back and run one for us.  :)

Wednesday racing starts this week with a cookout (4/6/11)

The board will feed you all this week at the Wednesday night races. First warning horn is 6:00. Time starts at 6:06.

Need a ride? Show up around 5:00-5:15 at the first picnic table on the porch.

NOTE: We will only race one course on Wednesday - the standard course.

Be careful of the depth at the first Rock Marker!

Get your finishing position to the PPYC Race Director any way you can - email, text, or a post to the blog.

Force 5 Final Results

The results are now posted to the main web page at:  http://ppyc.org/racing/raceresults/2011/ForceFiveResults2011.htm

Congratulation to everyone who came out in these challenging conditions!

David Pilcher did a fantastic job as Regatta Chair coming in way under budget and putting together a great support staff both on the water and at the marina.

April 6th - Wednesday night cookout!

The Board will cook for everyone on April 6th for our first Wednesday night race of the year. 

A boat grounded this weekend at the first Rock Buoy.  Leave a lot of room getting around it until the water comes up.  Please post a response as to how much room you suggest based on your experience.  I need more than 20' in my C-22, but I don't know how much more.  [YIKES] 

Can we post the finishing positions to the blog, or text them to me? 

I solicit your comments about running the course either direction.  Do you like to run it backwards?  Is it worth the effort to fly the flags?

Force Five Saturday results


It was brutal today!  We had 5 boats with broken equipment and/or ripped sails.  At least 5 boats got knocked down, some taking water in the cockpit.    The winds are predicted to be even higher tomorrow, after building through noon.  If we have a chance of getting in any races at all tomorrow, we'll have to get started on time Sunday.  We will not take a chance with more wind than we had today, however.  Peak gusts around noon appeared to be between 20 and 25. 

Congratulations to everyone who hung in there today!!!
