Thanks for the pics! Hope today's breeze holds and is as nice as yesterday turned out--115 boats in this regatta, most ever. Have fun out there, see you at the party!

Dear Fellow YRALIS Competitors,
Although we feel the regulation posted on the YRALIS website and printed in the YRALIS yearbook is very clear, it has come to our attention that there still is some confusion over eligibility for a PHRF Roller Furling Credit. The regulation...
ALPHABET SOUP
OR HOW I HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE PHRF
By Dr. Thompson and R. Steadman esq.
Anyone who has had the pleasure to race sailboats has also been subject to a cycle of promise eroding to disappointment or outright disdain for a plethora of rating rules. Those of us having been...
It's the same three or four voices out of 1000 members throwing sand in their sandbox-same voices for all the years here on SA and same little backwater bay been shit-stirring for decades. Once mildly amusing but now perceived by most as being out of touch and nattering nabobs of negativism...
Not sure why there is this gross misconception that the YRALIS PHRF Committee members are non-racers-a few folks on here seem to think that their little bay or harbor is the cynosure of Long Island Sound racing-I beg to differ-the purview of the YRALIS extends from New York Harbor, part way up...
Thanks Snag, works for me! and PHRF committee chair apologizes, his fault in not forwarding minutes from Oct. and Nov. meetings-secretary out on Friday so will get them up tmw--the committee have been on recess since then-kind of like congress taking a long vacation!!! -first meeting of the new...
Just watched the Dan Rather Big Interview last night with Greg....who, remarkably, got sober and clean twenty years ago and is in great shape. Seminal American band-Watkins Glen, Allmans, Band, Dead,,,,possibly music Nirvana, but there were too many damn people to really enjoy it!
Lol, that is some convoluted something there, not sure I follow the who was subject to what rule when, but bottom line, it all started in the swamps of EBYRA and one can only hope that it slinks back into the muck and disappears. Looking forward to taking applications for the new Rule 92...
balls entertainingly busted-it is those at the top of the pyramid that get to climb over the broken bodies of the downtrodden and oppressed.

Strange interpretation of the process-self-policing sport-competitors are to protest, or choose not to protest,each other if they see an infraction of rules, any rules, on the race course-it then goes to the protest committee of the respective event-and moves up the ladder from there through an...
More than half of them were out there last weekend-you will see a few of them today....give a wave and thank them for their hard volunteer work on your behalf.
