Latest NewsTrish Sudell Cleans Clocks at RYC Midwinters #1After 6 races in light and shifty winds, Trish Sudell leads the Richmond YC's Small Boat Midwinters series. With bullets in the last 3 races, she leads the series by a comfortable—though not unassailable—margin of 9 pts. Other highlights:
CORK Getting A Big Makeover for ’09There has been significant interest among fleet members to snap up some of the $1 Byte charters that PS2000 offers each year for CORK events. The negligible cost of the boat, plus the unbeatable accommodation rates at Queens University (a 5-minute walk from the harbor), makes this an attractive away-event option. CORK organizers, however, have overhauled the structure of events, reducing them to 3 regattas and re-defining the focus of each. It appears—though it's not absolutely certain yet—that the CII will henceforward fit into what they will call the “CORK OCR” (Olympic Classes Regatta). In their own words: The Olympic Classes Event will mainly focus on Olympic Classes, but will include development classes, such as Laser Radial men, 29er and CII. This High Performance event will be geared towards the more experienced sailors, providing racing in an international setting and in a race format commonly used at comparable events internationally. The goal is to qualify high level ISAF Grading for more classes. This event will allow for training and mentoring of officials striving to achieve or maintain International level certification, and will attract International level officials from other countries.Check their website for further details: http://www.cork.org/newsitems/nov_13.html. This could be a lot of fun! New Fleet Email Distribution List & Discussion GroupOur system for distributing notices and other messages fleet-wide has been re-vamped. Until now, we have been addressing emails directly to a handmade list of addresses that were copied-and-pasted whenever an announcement went out. This was unwieldy, but the previous email list had gotten heavily spammed and was a royal pain to subscribe to. We now have an SF Byte Fleet group on Google Groups that is very easy to manage. Please note that we will be rolling over to this new system for 2009, so please make sure you've joined the group! If you did not receive an invitation already, send a note to sfbytes@gmail.com, and we'll get you on the list right away. Note that you do not need to open a Google account to join the list, despite whatever Google may tell you. (There are reasons why they do that, but just trust me, for our purposes you don't need to open yet another online account.) You may also visit the group to view discussions and request an invitation to join by going to http://groups.google.com/group/sfbytes. | Latest Photos: December RYC MidwintersFleet Calendar | Western Grand Prix Circuit Races Listed *in Asterisks* |
