Notice of Race

THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SAILING CLUB

SPRING FLING REGATTA

Sunday, May 10 2009

Hosted by the U of M Sailing Club Fleet 79

Sailing on Baseline Lake, just north of Ann Arbor

No registration fee!

The UMSC invites you to enjoy a day of exciting short course, small lake sailing (just like in college). We plan on holding 8-10 races with a throw-out. The courses will be Gold Cup (triangle windward leeward) or Windward-Leeward.

Rules

The regatta will be governed by the rules as defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing 2009-2012, the Rules of the JY15 Class and the Sailing Instructions. We will allow co-skippering.

Eligibility

The Regatta is open to all JY15 sailors. You don't need to be a member of the JY Class Association to race. You don't need to be a member of the UM Sailing Club either.

• To sail a club boat, both skipper and crew must be current club members.
• The skipper or both co-skippers of a club boat must have their crew sailing test signed or an equivalent level of skill.
• Club members can specify ahead of time which hull and sail #s they wish to reserve (first come, first served).

Schedule

Registration

You are encouraged to register in advance to help us better prepare for the regatta: email Mark Haynes, Racing Chair, to do so.

Registrations will be accepted on the morning of the regatta until the start of the Skippers' Meeting.

There is no fee for this regatta; it's free!
We will be collecting a small optional fee (~$10/person) at the skippers meeting for lunch. Note that we do not have food or drink concessions, so this is the only option to purchase lunch on-site.
Feel free to bring your own food and drinks if you prefer.

Camping is available on site for participants.

Club members may reserve a boat in advance on a first-come, first-served basis. The club has only ten JY-15s, so there may be a waiting list if all boats are reserved. Contact Mark to reserve your boat, or use the sign-up sheet at the club.

Here is a list of everyone who's currently registered.

Prizes

Prizes will be awarded to the top five skippers and crews. We'll also be giving away many fun prizes to other sailors.

Club Rules

No alcohol is allowed on the grounds, and no pets.
Children must be supervised at all times.

Misc. Information

The regatta will be held at the club's property on Baseline Lake, at 8010 Strawberry Lake Road in Dexter, Michigan.

Contact Mark Haynes, Racing Chair, with any questions.
