Edith Bicknell 0 #1001 Posted October 19, 2015 Anyone know how YRALIS feels about this?! I am aware of this and Sue has been in contact with the PHRF Committee and YRALIS in general. The race committee can modify the racing rules of sailing provided they indicate it in the sailing instructions and presumably the NOR. YRALIS clubs have dismissed rule 51 for Leverage over the last 3-4 years. Many racing associations permit variation of the rules with regard to ballast. I think eliminating the weight requirement is il advised, because our base assumes a given weight. Anyway, thanks for keeping me in the loop. Rick I'm curious if there is written permission from the YRALIS PHRF Committee, or if RRS 87 is like weight limits: it looks good on paper but nobody cares if it is not followed. RRS 2013-2016 87 CHANGES TO CLASS RULES The sailing instructions may change a class rule only when the class rules permit the change, or when written permission of the class association for the change is displayed on the official notice board. We are not talking class rules, it's a phrf event. Why the whining? Unapproved rule changes may be ok for the individual regatta, but may disqualify the regatta results for seasonal trophies, no?

It was two very fun days out on the water, looking forward to next week. Damn shame more people don't want to make the trip out. Maybe if the club advertised that they'd more or less be racing off of Larchmont more boats would be inclined to sign-up. Maybe if they post the amendment to the NOR's more than 2 days before the event starts about no weight limits, more boats might have come out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill's Sock Puppet 8 #1033 Posted October 4, 2016 Bump only 13 boats entered this event is dead There are so many fall regattas now on WLIS that there is a bit of burnout for me: Vineyard Race, Danish Friendship, STC/Riverside Champs, American Fall Series, Intercollegiate Regatta, ... and finally for us the Manhasset Bay Fall Series. (I don't know what everyone else' excuse is.) Turnout may be low, but it's still a good regatta: local, held by good people, usually there is good wind and good competition. I think I have raced in at least 28 of the last 33 MBFS ... for me MBFS is a bit of person tradition. I'm looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill's Sock Puppet 8 #1055 Posted October 12, 2016 So basically the loss of 13 J105's warrants cancelling the second weekend for the other 17 boats, that's a great way to recognize the loyal entries that continued to race in this regatta. I understand a buffet and live band on Sunday to something meant to ameliorate the awesome disappointment. Perhaps I am jaded, but this is Metropolitan New York, we can get good food and live entertainment pretty much any time we want. We signed up to sail. Perhaps next year the entry fee should be 50% down and 50% after completion of the regatta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dacapo 872 #1063 Posted October 13, 2016 Was MBYC traditionally more race oriented then it is now? I know that they are big on their Ideal 18s and MBODs. but I'm curious why they are holding a j105 division when I don't think they have even a single J105 boat at the club? Similarly, there are only 2 phrf racers from the club racing, apparently.

Similarly, there are only 2 phrf racers from the club racing, apparently. Did the membership change over the years to a more cruising type of crowd? They have a J105 division because that is who registered for the event. There are relatively few members who actually participate in the event. That has not changed much over the years, or at least not any more than at any other club you can pick out on LIS, or anywhere really. Their biggest one-design fleet is the Sonar, though that too has dwindled over the years. In the 1970's we used to get 10-20 Etchells, Shields, Resolutes, MBO's, Ensigns, Rhodes 19's, Knickerbockers, Thistles, and Flying Juniors every weekend. Those days are gone for sure. So in that comparison, much has changed. The big boat racing has dwindled too, but that is true throughout the sport, not because the demographics of the membership at the host Club has changed.

Not to sound like a complete neophyte, but doesn't a YC traditionally sponsor races for boats that at least comprise a decent portion of its membership?

Considering the drop off in the 105 fleet compared to last year (7 this year vs 14 last year; the bump came from the NAs being at larchmont the next weekend) it's actually a little heartening to see the PHRF fleet a bit bigger.

I think it's just too much to get owners and crew to commit to two weekend regattas that are so close together A bunch of years ago, when American was the smaller regatta and NYYC used to have involvement, American came to MBYC to try and get them to cohost it when NYYC got out. MBYC did not go for it, I wish they did now! I wonder if the regatta was located at a more easterly club if that would make a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
