clr attendance

[kickingbug1]

   looks like this year we will be missing a few of our long time sailors. it is still early but sarah  and I would like to get confirmation on who  will be attending in june. you can e mail me or call 317)292-0258 or contact me here. I'm thinking that this year we will have a windward- leeward race which should make it easier to navigate. I have a new idea for stand up markers with orange flags which I will be working on soon. I would still like to do the "cruise to the silo" and a night sail. as always we will have the "meet and greet" at the winery, corn hole tourney and of course the awards dinner. I know that john, roger, dan, rich, and matt are coming for sure so anyway let me know. and lets get some new blood involved

[sailen69]

Yes, I will be there.  Most likely with a Compac 16.
Rich

  i know that in the past there has been some race confusion (my fault i think). anyway this year we will run a simple windward- leeward race. the marks will be set approximately 1 mile apart. i am in the process of making stand up markers with orange bike flags on them so they should be relatively easy to spot. where they are set depends on wind direction, with the start and finish mark set at last years location. each boat class will be given a start time on the clock. it will be the responsibility of each skipper to make the start at that time. i have crewed on larger boats before that have used this method. it works very well. all you need is a watch or cell phone. this will eliminate the le-mans start and make it easier for solo sailors. for those of you who have not attended before and have not raced you need not worry about collisions. to date we haven't had a close call. the race is just for fun and photo ops anyway. the cruise to the silo should be a very enjoyable event. with a west or northwest wind it should require little course change. after the boats round the silo they head west to a very nice raft up spot. you can anchor your boat in a shallow sand bottomed cove and either stand up in the water or float. we have used this in the past. there is no better spot on the lake. the two dinners and cornhole tourney will be similar to years past. hopefully we may also get a night sail in this year. there will also be prizes and trophies. this is our 10th clr and i know events such as this only have a certain lifespan so lets make this years a special one. to those friends of ours who cannot attend, we will do our best to carry on the tradition and try and fill the void. all will be honored with numerous toasts ill bet.

Is there a rowing category?

[Tim Gardner]

Bob,  if there was a race for rowboats, oar not, you would OARdinairly come in first Oar, last Oar,  oar both, since you would be the only oarnry crumudgeon paddling his butt at COARlyle Lake.

PersoOARly, I'd rather bOARd a competing vessel during the races. Oar wish Oar could be there.

Oar! Oar! Oar! Oar! (pirate laughing,).  OOOAAAARRRR, Matey!

Oar not! Lest ye be bOARed silly.

[Bob23]

There's no way anyone can be bOARd silly around here! Silly, yes- bOARd, no. Sure wish you could be there but it'll be fun to catch up at CBMWG!!
