This could be the biggest Wave event of the Year. Open ( IWCA ) and Hobie ( HCA ) will both race together. Hobie Waves will be scored as its own fleet in addition to the open.

Put-In-Bay ( Bayweek ) Mark you calendars Aug 2 - 4.

So, are Waves racing only on Monday(8/5)? Or also Friday thru Sunday (8/2 - 8/4)?

Is there tent camping available?

Waves can race in the Steeplechase on Thursday, BayWeek which is Fri-Sat-Sun, and the Middle Bass Challenge on Monday.

Tent camping is welcome at the PIB Yacht Club or the State Park which is 2 miles away.

BayWeek will have a class for HCA legal Waves and IWCA (OPEN) Waves.

Would I get bonus points if I towed my Wave there with my '57 MG?

Ought to do that for the Sport Car Races that Jack Woehrle puts on there nationally.
Now if it was a Model T, you would get lots of point.
BTW, we have 32 Model T Fords on the Island.

Put-In-Bay Sportscar Road Races

We have 5 boats from Iowa and 2 from Minnesota coming.

Excellent Chris. Can you get them to register on-line. They don't have to pay until the deadline.

Have them put Hobie Wave HCA for their class if they are using a Hobie sail.

I-LYA Registration

Hey Jack,

Do you know how the Race Committee plans to tell the two classes apart on the water?

Plans are for everyone to sail in one fleet but be scored as two classes.

You will have to declare which class you are in at the beginning. There will be a skippers meeting to explain it. The other option would be to have two starts. We think most folks would rather race as a fleet.

<<We think most folks would rather race as a fleet>>
Totally agree with that. I am hoping they will use a streamer from a batten to tell the classes apart. Much easier on RC for scoring and helps the competitors to know who's playing for
which team.

Yes, we will have different color streamers.

When are you getting here Mimi?

They don't have sailwave??

We don't know what they have but it will work out just fine.

It may be sailwave or it might be pencil and paper.

We are due to land Wed afternoon. Would love to drop the boat at YC before heading to campground for Wed and Thur nights.

No PRoblem. You can set the boat up as well. Waves are in the front.

Thanks Rick. Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend!

23 boats registered?!?!!! Nice, wish I could be there with you!

Could be a lot more. 2 or 3 from Miami area can't make it, and Newkirk's group planned on coming, but it seems the only one making it is Tom Whitehurst.
Big far Midwestern group coming, however. Should be fun

Weather looks good. Steeplechase will be a beat in 10 mph winds, not recommended for a Wave,
Friday forcasted winds westerly over 10,
Lighter on Saturday,
and up a little more on Sunday.

Goal is stay sober enough to sail. ha ha
