Don't think RCYC's Commodore ever landed in the swimming pool at LYRA. I do recall the Commodore of Royal Hamilton YC getting a helpful push-he was sort of leaning forward telling a young lady in the pool that she ought to be wearing more than she was and, let's face it, he was asking for it on all counts. The bloke who pushed him is now living in Dubai. Probably get his head cut off for such a stunt there which is probably what would have happened to him if he'd done it at RCYC-and on the Bowling Green!

I was the guy standing on the Commodore's hobie (in the pool) with his daughter (the one who ought to be wearing more clothes) at that LYRA. Was a great event (minus the fog) Not to worry, the stunt won't be duplicated at this years LYRA. Different sense of humour at RCYC.

The weather ar least appears to be reasonable.
Long range is for good winds most of the three days.
Hopefully the RC work is an improvement.

Bill Visser did a kick ass job as RC on Charlie course for LYRA. It was nice to see a guy actually have fun on a comittee boat while running good races and making sensible decisions in difficult conditions.
Anybody have any stories from Saturday night? I heard that some may have had a little too much fun...

I didnt see it that way. Every day the competitors were out on the course before the race commitee. Every day there was a postponement with wind because the course could not be set up in time (Fridays race for the 36.7's started 90 minutes after the first gun). The pin boat didnt have the marks inflated, the lines were tangled. Gates were set with barely 3 boat lengths between them, Offsets were ridiculously close to the Marks. Markset boats positioned themselves downwind of the windward marks. One boat ran out of gas, one boat ran out of batteries for their GPS. The start lines were set much too short for the 36.7 fleet.(4 General recalls, yet they never went to I flags). They didnt have enough marks when they had course changes. On one race the offset was put in after the first two boats went around without it. Very frustrating, after the incredible RC work done at levels the previous week.Bill Visser did a kick ass job as RC on Charlie course for LYRA.

What is the best way to get into Shark Racing? I'm located in Grimsby, so, anywhere from Niagara to Kingston is within reasonable driving boundaries for me. I race on an Express 30 in Bronte at the moment but would love to get into Sharks. If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it

There is a lot of shark racing around the lake, RCYC in Toronto has quite a few.

Andrew:
You should have come out more often. 515 might have been 10ft longer than you, but it was a HUNTER, with a disgusting looking wing keel! It was extremely well sailed, consistently at the top of the fleet overall.
The old Press Gang becomes the new 515 in IRC 1 and the old Mummy becomes the new Press Gang also in IRC 1.
We have some inquiries from some smaller boats, the last of the PHRF racers, so might have an IRC 4 next season.
We now have around 100 boats on Lake Ontario with IRC certificates, around 80 in Canada and 20 on the US side.

Hi everyone,
Need you all to wish one of our locals, my close friend Chris, the awesome bowman on Five-Fifteen since 2003, and also the bowman on our J-22 a speedy recovery from his back surgery yesterday, he is in good hands at Sunnybrook. So please lets all wish him a healthy speedy recovery and lets get him back in adventureland for the upcoming season.
Chris, get well soon buddy, we are all thinking of you.

With this weather there should be no excuses for missing the ABYC regatta, and still 2 weeks until launch.
The IRC fleet seems to be growing, word on the street has new some players getting certificates this season, including; a Taylor 40, J145, C&C 110, Dash 34, Olson 911S, Express 35, a couple of C&C 35's, a bunch of 24-27 footers. Plus another Bene 40.7, a second X35, and a third IMX 38.
If the last 3 join the LORC Regatta series, IRC 1 will be a very busy division, then throw in the Killings 50, the McConaghy 38 and a second Farr 30, whoohoo fun times ahead. And I believe "Coug" the Peterson 41 will be full time this season too.
Anyone know of others out there not mentioned.
Who's in, who's out?
New boats??
Etc....

LORC is patiently waiting for a ruling from Revenue Canada whether we need to add GST/HST to the fees.LORC is probably waiting to receive the fee schedule from the host clubs.

This reminds me :
If anyone with a boat in the 24-28' range would like to race in a PHRF spinnaker division on Tuesday nights at the National, send me a PM.
We race to the west of the island, on proper W/L courses with inflated tetrahedron marks.
Poda is coming over from TS&CC. Who else would like to join us?

We have boats from 201 to 246, with most clustered around 222-225. I'd like to get a few more boats in the 190-200 range, so we can make two divisions with tighter spreads.

Posted 18 April 2012 - 08:30 PM
Mid 180s would work out great. I've got a Viking 28, and possibly one other. If memory serves correctly, they are around 180.
Anyone know of any CS27s, C&C27s, and similar boats that want to come play?

Posted 24 April 2012 - 02:15 PM
Hmmm - maybe I'll see if I can find crew for a Tuesday night series... When's your first gun? Coming over from QCYC is a bit of a commute.
My FS PHRF was 183 last year - haven't seen the new ratings yet.

Sorry I did not reply until now; in Charleston since the 18th. 183 is right in the sweet spot
1830h first warning. I will see what accomodations we can make. Overnight docking at the NYC is a no-brainer. What else can we do to make it happen? We want you.
Posted 25 April 2012 - 04:31 PM
send an email to the VC Fleet requesting to join the racing. his email is on club site. then, fill out registration form.LOL. Convince more of my crew to leave work early two days in a row
So far I've got me plus one other. But I'm going to ask around to some other Wednesday night crews to see if I can find some more people. Maybe even another boat... who knows.
I'd like to do it, so I'm sure I'll at least manage to get out for a few of these races. What's the deal with visiting boats? Do I need to register with somebody before I check in with the RC on the water?

The LORC registration page is now up and running.
We are still waiting for a response from the tax people on HST, but can not wait any longer.
For those compaining that registration was not up, I expect lots of registrations this week.
