A protest hearing for Fall Series #2: Salacia vs. Beast will be held on Saturday October 1, near the city docks in Prescott following the first leg of the Commodores Cup race.
Please contact Steve Nelson if you would like to serve as a protest hearing committee member. Click Here
Please be reminded that the sailing club encourages racing protests and regards them primarily as learning opportunities for all members of the racing fleet.
The 2016 Commodore’s Cup will be held on Saturday, October 1st and Sunday, October 2nd. Race to Prescott on Saturday and back on Sunday! Approximately 24 miles as the crow flies (much longer as the boat sails).
Start will be near the Hudson I-94 bridge. Start line will be fixed to the course (downwind starts are not uncommon).
Saturday Warning Signal Times:
Finish line will be set up around Prescott (or around 3pm at the discretion of the Race Committee)
Docking is provided free of charge, courtesy of the Prescott City Council at the city docks after 3pm. The docks are located between the two bridges, which requires a VHF radio call on 14 or 16 to open (Highway bridge only – no need for railroad lift). Please group together to reduce the number of lifts.
Beverages and appetizers will be provided on the dock. You are welcome to enjoy dinner at the many fine establishments Prescott has to offer!
On Sunday morning, everyone is encouraged to have a great breakfast in town, then prep for a long day at sea! The race back to Hudson will begin with a warning signal for all racers at 11am.
Racing will complete somewhere between Afton and Hudson – watch for the Race Committee’s finish line.
18.7 Use of propulsion:
In the event of grounding, the rules of RRS 42 (Propulsion) are waived when all of the following are
met:
(a) The boat shall not advance her distance to the finish.
(b) The boat shall take a 10-minute scoring penalty per incident.
(c) The boat shall report the number of incidents to the race committee at or prior to her finish.
Racing events are organized to appeal to sailors of all abilities. They include several weekend and mid-week racing series, fun races, and special regattas such as the Spring Invitational; the Breaking Waves Regatta and Commodore’s Cup (overnight race/cruise from Hudson to Prescott); the Carlson Classic; the Labor Day Regatta; and the Autumnal Equinox.
The Labor Day Regatta (now known as the “Fall Regatta” or “Sail and Share”) has brought in sailors from Iowa, Lake of the Woods, Lake Pepin, Lake Waconia, Lake Minnetonka, White Bear Lake, Medicine Lake and Lake Mille Lacs. The festivities begin on Friday night and, after two days of racing, conclude Sunday with the awards ceremony and cocktail party. Saturday’s racing is often followed by dinner and live music.
