PHRF TOT/TOD (Time on time, time on distance) explained
Posted by Leslie on Wednesday, 7 July 2021Here's some reading for those who are interested in scoring for the racing fleet. We score races 3 ways:
June 20, Apeldoorn start times
Posted by Leslie on Wednesday, 16 June 2021As of writing this I'm not sure if there is a RC, please use Fisgard to starboard and the flag pole on Duntze Head to port as the start line if there's no RC. Please announce to the fleet via Channel 9 your crossing of the line at start and finish (GPS time). Record your rounding times and finish times. If Bill White (Rangatira) is on course, please provide him with your times or email to me fleetcaptain@cfsaesq.ca for results. Remember, first to finish is the winner of this race as your start time makes allowances for your handicap.

Special Race |
Old Jack and Jill, now Double Handed Special Race Sunday June 13
Posted by Leslie on Friday, 11 June 2021The Jack and Jill Race will now become purely a double handed race. Skippers' meeting via VHF on channel 9 at 1100 or if 10 or less meet in a socially distance fashion up on the club lawn. Race to start at 1200. As of writing this we have no race committee, if no one steps up (I have a class so can't do it) the skippers as a group will decide a start finish line and course and then record their own GPS times.
Looking for women racers
Posted by Leslie on Wednesday, 9 June 2021We have some exciting news: CFSA is interested in developing and sponsoring a competitive women’s keelboat team with the purpose of entering the Canadian National Keelboat Regatta this fall in Hudson, Quebec. While the FRC will provide some support to the team there will be some financial requirements for the successful teammates; in addition to practicing and competing the teammates will be required to assist in the maintenance of the sailing vessels used and to contribute time towards fundraising for the team.
