9th Annual SCSC Pursuit Races
Saturday, June 19th at 11:00 hrs

Notice of Race – Sailing Instructions
Start Times

The Pursuit Race is an exciting twist on our traditional races!
Boats will start based on handicaps – High-PHRF boats first, Lower-PHRF boats later.  Each class of boat has their own start time.  Hence, faster boats will PURSUE the slower ones.  The idea is to have everyone finish at the same time (and scare the heck out of the Race Committee).  The first boat across the finish line is the winner!

There will be two races.  Start times are created for all boats registered with SCSC. These times will dictate when your boat starts after the conclusion of the initial start sequence.

If you intend to race in a configuration not listed in the “START TIMES” document above (ie: spinnaker or non, different headsail size, etc) you must let the Race Committee know by 5pm Friday.  Note:  You may request optional configurations – ones you may or may not sail with.  The R/C will add all requests to the Start Times form, and you may choose your configuration by announcing at your start.

Sign-up is not required unless you have a configuration change which affects your handicap.

The Pursuit Races are open to all members of the club, and all boats with an assigned handicap.
The final start times for registered boats will be posted on Friday.

For questions or to submit handicap changes, use the following form by Friday at 5pm:

Thank you for offering to host an event!  You are a valuable part of our volunteer-run organization!

Our current Committee Boat has served us well for the past 22 years, but has outlived its ability to reliably serve our club.  We are looking to you our members and friends to help our club purchase a new Committee Boat.

The new boat should look like a proper Race Committee vessel, convey the professional nature of our club, and reflect upon the enthusiasm our members and volunteers have for the sport of sailing.  It must have safety in mind, considering the heavy weather we encounter.

We anticipate a need of up to [olimometer_target id=2] to find a suitable replacement boat and hope to purchase one in the 2022 season.  Proceeds to date total [olimometer_progress id=2], and we have commitments for matching funds once certain goals have been met.  Raising the total amount is actually quite a bit closer than it appears.  We need the commitment of our membership to make this happen.

Thank you for your support of sailing in our community!

This regatta concludes our season of racing, cruising, and sailing together on the St.Croix river.

Whether your out to race, participate, cruise, learn or simply observe the experience of spending time on the water, time spent sailing can be one of the best things in life, and can make the rest of our existence seem that much more enjoyable. Our lives revolve around this sport for the summer months and once its done for the year, we may be relieved at first. But then shortly afterwards we begin to long for it. The new year begins and we can’t wait for it, spring cannot come soon enough. The ice flows off the river and then we’re all busy getting our boats ready to go; replacing, fixing, coating, buffing, polishing, and then launching. I am looking forward to next year already, I’m sure some of you are too.

I hope you all enjoyed this awesome season  of sailing here with our club. And we are looking forward to sailing with you again next year.
