| MAY SERIES - ONLY 2 MORE RACES TO GO!
The June 1 race is part of the shortened May series. Thus far, we've had a total of 18 boats out racing (9 PHRF I, 3 PHRF II and 6 Sharks), including 2 new boats: a Farr/Mumm 30 (Wilby/Hull syndicate) and a 2nd Mirage 24 (Weguelins). James Rountree, our new KYC Sailing Manager, is rapidly becoming a veteran of our race management activities.
The is a very cool (and free) iPhone/Android app called raceQs available for fleets of racing boats to record their tracks and view online after racing. See raceqs.com for more info. raceQs could provide some post-race entertainment and perhaps even a few insights. Thanks to Chris Currie for suggesting this. Let's try it out... after you've registered your boat, before your race starts just press "Start track" button and track and after finishing, press "End track". Then view on mobile/computer, along with any other racers in the area who've used raceQs. It figures it all out.
* One week until unfilled Race Committee slots will be automatically assigned. Note: weekend races are eligible too. Many of these only require starting a race on Saturday morning.
