Sailboat Races

HOLLYWOOD (Sept. 4, 2005) -- Kanker Greenacre, father of the Tako racing sailboat, won the first Starboards Yacht Club weekly regatta today with two first place and one second place finish. As Darth Vader would have said: "impressive".

MarkTwain White unveiled a new extended course at Hollywood's Starboards Yacht Club, the Long Course. It combines the Standard Course with an additonal circumnavigation of Hollywood Island. The first race was a Stardard Course race. Races 2 and 3 were both run on the Long Course. Race 2 saw the lead change hands twice, a rare event on the Standard Course. Nber Medici served as race director.

For the future, the Standard Course will now be known as the Short Course, and today's Long Course will be considered the new Standard Course.

Additionally there is a "Longest Day Course" that will be used at some point.

As we integrate Right of Way (ROW) into our racing a number of skippers are stuggling not only with understaning the rules, but in applying them under pressure (and there IS pressure in sailboat racing). I will host two on-the-water clinics to help answer your questions and help you develop useful techniques for dealing with that pressure.

Paniked? Be at one with the sim...
aummmmmmmmm.

The first session will at 5pm tomorrow (Friday), right before the 6pm practice on Friday.

The second session will be at 1pm on Sunday, right before the 2pm Weekly Regatta.

Experienced skippers are also encourged to attend and assist me. If I have help we may set up some on-water racing situations. So lend your expertise.

Little Critters sailboat racing returns to SL tomorrow with the first Weekly Races sponsored by Starboards Yacht Club and held in beautiful, low-lag Hollywood. Come as a little critter, buy the completely revised Tiny Tako 2.2 for a buck and have a ball.

It's bumper boats folks. No silly ROW rules to worry your furry little heads with. Just rock 'em sock 'em fun. It's roller derby on the water.

Invite your non-sailing friends to come a learn their starboard paw from their port paw.

A few of these little critter races and they will be ready for the big boys. Fresh meat!

Now, you little critters, pay no attention to the proceding three sentences. Just come have a good time.

Little Critter Races will he held each Sunday after the regular regatta. (Approximately 4pm).

Starboards Weekly Regatta series continues at 2pm today. Who is going to knock Kanker off? Anyone? Kanker is loaded for bear and will take no prisoners, or so I an told.

A clinic will be held at 1pm for those having questions about ROW.

Yesterday's regatta was a little broken up thanks to 3 or 4 disconnections and a phone call (when will Mark learn to take his phone off the hook?) but was still a roaring success and enjoyed by all.

Those who were there will remember the 4 into a tight gap for 2 doesn't go entertainment - the average of the times for this race was only 15s slower than for the first race, and not significantly different than the fastest (second) race.

For those curious about the impact of passengers it should be noted that mush, Kanker and I had a passenger in all three races, Helen did in at least the third race as did Mark. If passengers affect the performance of the Tako at all it's not in an obvious way.

There will be a practice regatta held tonight 5:30 PM SL time at the Old Salty Dog in preparation of the Grand Opening. The paperclip course will be used.

So set your sails to wind and come out for some fun!


Hope to see you there!

Wow!!!!! I wanna join in the fun. I would love to do with with my sl family. I'm off to purchase a sailboat and hopefully I'll make it to the practice tonight.. unless its members only.

Just wanted all to know that practices in Hollywood are open to everyone. Hope to see you there

HOLLYWOOD (Sept. 11, 2005) -- Kanker Greenacre took first place in both our regular weekly regatta and our new little critter regatta. RL thunderstorms knocked Oliphant Ming out after the first race.

A new improved Tiny Tako was unveiled for the LC races.

For those new to SLSF sanctioned racing or sailboat racing in general. Be sure to come by and study the INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAILBOAT RACING 3-D displays (by Eloise Pasteur) at Starboards Marina (Hollywood sim). These instructions and your subsquent practice of them will make you a threat to man and beast alike on the water (said in a "good" way. Grin.)

HOLLYWOOD Sept. 16, 2005 -- Fall weather has fallen on Hollywood Sim and forecasters are predicting brisk winds averages 20 knots with a range of 10 to 30 knots for the sim from now through this Sunday's regatta (2pm).

SYC Commodore MarkTwain White also announces that the windward mark has been widened by 2 boat lengths. "6 to 8 boats coming into the windward mark on both tacks in higher winds is a recipe for potential disaster. Widening the marks might reduces some of the problem", says White.

He also recommends that skippers practice the course before this Sunday's regatta. There is a formal PRACTICE SESSION at 6pm on FRIDAY said White. The course is always available 24/7 for practice.

A Little Critter Regatta will follow the regular regatta. Forcasters are hopefull that winds might back down slightly for the LC Regatta.

Starboards Yacht Club News Service

HOLLYWOOD Sept. 16, 2005 -- Starboards Yacht Club will host another Little Critter Regatta this Sunday in the beautiful Hollywood Sim. Get your furry tails to Hollywood at 4pm on Sunday, grab a Little Critter Tiny Tako sailboat and join in the fun.

SYC recommends you come by on Saturday or Sunday morning to practice before the races. A regular regatta will be held from 2 to 4pm on Sunday so the course will not be available for practice at that time.

1st place 200L$, 2nd Place 100L$, 3rd Place 50L$ Come and have a fun time! Bring your Critters and let the fur fly!

Third MarkTwain White 10 pts winning $100
Fourth equal Mush Caldera 15 pts
Fourth equal Helen Dayton 15pts
Sixth Doc Nielsen 16pts (after a lost protest).

In the interests of widening participation in sailing the SL-rentals.com regattas will be changing to a minimal rules set for its remaining races:

No rerezzing
No editing up course (lag groundings can be edited back to the start of the leg, sim border etc.)
No editing other people's boats
Give searoom - you can't force a boat into a barrier (immovable object, sim border etc.). If they turn when they MUST to avoid the barrier if there is contact you have fouled them. If there are barriers on both sides then a 'knock for knock' policy will apply - no fault found.
If you start early recross and start again after the race has started.

HOLLYWOOD (Sept. 18, 2005) -- Oliphant Ming scored a perfect 2.25 points to take the regular SYC Weekly Regatta title. The races were hard fought with numerous penalty turns taken. An incredible three way tie for 2nd place saw Eloise, MarkTwain, and mush each coming in with identical scores of 10.00.

The Little Critter Regatta also featered ties. Two of them. Trep was untouchable with a perfect 2.25 in the little furry fleet. Helen and Nber tied for second with 9 pts each. Yet another tie (for 4th) occured between Kobin and david at 12 pts each.

A "B Fleet" (i.e. No ROW rules) Race was held. The winner was Eloise.

Something is screwy with the math in the results MarkTwain posted,
and the points do not add up right for some of the participants. For
instance, I don't see how MarkTwain gets 10 points from finishing
4th, 5th, and 3rd.

Please check my math, but I think these are the correct results:

I agree with your maths Pixeleen

You are quite correct Pixleen. And Eloise is correct as well. In my rush to get numbers compiled I incorrectly recorded a 3 not a 5 for myself in the second race. And in an effort to get results posted the same day, I missed the error. Thank you for catching the error.

This is a lot of work and I try to do my best. I am MORE than willing to turn over compiling these numbers and crunching them to anyone willing to relieve me of the task. I have plenty to do just dealing with events on the water and in the sim during the events. GRIN.

Nevertheless I will double my vigilence and ignore pressures to post the results quickly. GRIN.

MarkTwain White

I've made a scripted calculator for the regatta results. It's set up for 3 race regattas (LSL doesn't handle variable assignment dynamically), and will handle DNS, DNF and upheld protest results.

It's NOT idiot proof - you need to know all the results and put names and positions in AT THE END (it makes the scripting a lot nicer that way), but it will take the positions and do the number crunching for results and shout them out. It clearly asks (audibly so everyone can check) for the results of each racer by name and in each race.

It doesn't error check at all, and thanks to the delights of sorting lists in LSL it doesn't cope with equal finishes either - but it does say the score and the name so you can check them over.

I've sent copies to Mark, Kanker and Rain, if anyone else would like one let me know.

Anyone with good suggestions for improvements please IM me - or if you want one for different numbers of races per regatta.
