Committee Boat Corner, May 26th 2021

Spinnaker or Non-Spinnaker?

The membership application asks if you will fly your spinnaker for our events, but that’s just a general guide for our scoring and ratings committees.  Competitors still have leeway to declare S or NS for certain events.  This extends to other configurations as well – trying out a new jib size, props, etc…  (those check boxes on the registration form).

Our scoring system and award structure permits different boat configurations for each of the events in the following list.  Each bullet reflects an individual series and you will be scored in the same configuration for all events in that series.

  • Yacht of the Year Series
  • Beercan Series
  • Dave O’Donnell Memorial Regatta
  • Pursuit Races
  • Commodores Cup
  • Labor Day Regatta
  • Frostbite Races

If you wish to change your boat from the configuration on your membership application, you MUST alert the Race Committee before your start. For anything other than spinnakers, advanced notice to the R/C is requested as such changes require research.
All changes must conform to class and phrf rules, of course.

Race Committee Last Minute Updates

The Race Committee has created this page to let you know of last-minute cancellations.  Brief messages will be posted if we have to change the schedule prior to leaving the dock.  Please bookmark this page on your cell phones and refer to it if the weather looks questionable.

The Race Committee leaves the dock 1-hr prior to racing.  If that is not possible, racing may be postponed or canceled and updates will be posted here accordingly.  Many of our members are located outside of VHF range, so this page should allow everyone to stay in touch.  Posts will not be made here for on-the-water changes (once everyone is on the race course and within view of the committee boat).

Start Timer Version 4 – Sequences

This is a proposal for Lighted Sequences.  It supports both Rolling and Non-Rolling varieties.  For simplicity, it only documents RRS26, but can be applied to other sequences quite easily.

The initial concept was to simply replace two flags (Class # and “P”) with lights.  Turns out, its more complicated than that.  Read our provisional proposal here (it is regularly updated):  Lighted Start Sequence (Google Docs)

If you have any suggestions for improvement, please let us know!

Proposed Rule 26 Sequence:

Minutes before starting signal Flag Signal Light Signal Sound Signal Means
(any) Class Flags, sequentially ordered. *

P, I, Z, Z with I, U, or black flag

    Defines class order and penalties
5   Top Light On One Warning Signal
4   Bottom Light On One Preparatory Signal
1   Top Light Off One Long One-Minute
0 Class flag removed * Bottom Light Off One Starting Signal

* Class and penalty flags for started classes shall be removed prior to the Preparatory signal for subsequent classes.

The warning signal for each succeeding class shall be made with or after the starting signal of the preceding class.

Example:

A competing boat would see something like the following image.  Light colors are to be decided.

    

All of these lights mean something in the USCG rules, so we added blinking lights – that way our Race Committee shouldn’t be confused with another type of vessel.

Start Timer Version 4 – Hardware

Hardware

There are significant hardware changes for this version of the timer.  Including an upgrade of the processor to the ATMega1284p, the addition of an SD Card, and support for multiple sequence lights.

Here are a few examples of circuit-board related updates.

Circuit board schematic to date.  Work in progress…

 

 

 

Start Timer Version 4 – Software

Software

The software is undergoing a complete redesign.  We anticipate support of an unlimited number of customizations, including not only sequences, but changes to the lighting patterns and number of lights.  As with all new concepts, we expect to adjust the lights as we gain experience with them.

One key element to this is the addition of a Micro SD Card reader.  This will permit patches and upgrades to be sent out to customers via email.  Copy the file onto the card, put it in the timer, power it up, and presto:  you have an upgraded start timer.  Support for user-customized sequences may also be possible.

V4 Class Diagram

A menu system will be used for configuring the sequences and rolling details.
