Saturday, July 6th, Maggie & Neil Atkins will be hosting their annual Hospitality Elimination Regatta which will include a great meal and drinks for all. The address is 4314 Deep Run Canandaigua, NY 14424. This is just off of East Lake Rd.
The race will begin promptly at 1:30 off the south dock at CYC. A starting line will be set and the start may be upwind or down depending on the wind direction that day.
There is no participation fee for this regatta, but please RSVP Maggie at matkins@frontiernet.net or
Admiral Nelson at eal@onecommail.com so that we may know how many to expect.
If you are planning on attending and would like to contribute by bringing an appetizer or desert please inform Maggie at (585) 396-9973 or matkins@frontiernet.net to help coordinate her efforts.
This year’s format has been changed from previous years to an elimination series format. Here’s how it works:
Rules:
- You are required to have a chase boat to follow your RC across the lake. If you do not have one we will make every effort to find one or ask that you team up with another chase boat.
- A finish line will be set somewhere close to the Atkin’s dock which you will be required to pass through in order to finish the race across the lake.
- Racing from CYC to Maggie & Neils home will determine your seeding ( 1,2,3,4,etc) . If you do not race across, but bring your boat by car to their home, you will be seeded at the bottom and will have to earn your way to the top. Those that do not race across the lake will be grouped in the lowest seed and will race with 50% moving on to the next elimination round. This will continue until only one remains who will then race against the lowest seed of those that did race across the lake. The winner will progress to the next seed until a winner is determined.
- A course will be set to the approval of this year’s race committee ( Keith Calkins and Sue Bennett ) and a race will consist of a minimum of 4 legs (2 laps).
- If you have been awarded a handicap in our regular series racing you may continue to use it. If you have not been awarded a handicap you may not petition for one.
- Racing will end by completing the elimination races or when the hosts ( Maggie & Neil ) determine it is time for all of us to leave. If all the elimination races have not been completed at that time the order of finish will be whatever your seeding was at the time races were cancelled.
- The very coveted 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (gold, silver, Bronze)place awards will be presented to those who will have earned their place in history.
-
1st 2nd 3rd
These races will not be included in the overall high point series but it would be a shame not to participate…
THAT’S ALL FOLKS
