The address is 4314 Deep Run Canandaigua\, NY 14424. This is just off of East Lake Rd. \nThe regatta will begin promptly at 12 Noon off the south dock at CYC. A starting line will be set and the start may be upwind or down depending on the wind direction that day. If you do not wish to race across the lake but would like to participate in the elimination rounds you will need to arrive at the Atkins’ home by 2PM. If you are a fleet member in good standing and would just like to attend the party you are asked to arrive by 5PM for all the festivities and awards. \nThere is no participation fee for this regatta\, but please RSVP by Tuesday August 18th to Maggie at matkins@frontiernet.net or Admiral Nelson at eal1667@gmail.com so that we know how many Sailors to expect. \nIf you are planning on attending and would like to contribute by bringing an appetizer\, a specialty dish\, or desert please inform Maggie at (585) 396-9973 or matkins@frontiernet.net to help coordinate her efforts. \nRegatta Rules: \n\nYou are required to have a chase boat to follow your RC across the lake.  If you do not have one -Please let us know prior to Thurs August 20th so we can help.  We will make every effort to find you a boat or help you team up with another chase boat.\nA finish line will be set somewhere close to the Atkin’s dock which you will be required to pass through in order to finish the race across the lake.\nIf you have been awarded a handicap in our regular series racing you may continue to use it at the start of the race across the lake.  If you have not been awarded a handicap you may not petition for one.\nRacing from CYC to Maggie & Neils home will determine your placement for the next round i.e. (1\, 2\, 3\, 4\, etc). (If your boat wins the across the lake race you are guaranteed at least  second place. You may rest until your challenger has been determined through elimination). If you do not race across\, you may still participate in the regatta by bringing your boat by car to their home or using a boat already on location. You will be placed at the bottom and will have to earn your way to the top. Those that do not race across the lake will race by drawing names with the winner moving on to the next elimination round. This will continue until only one remains. This boat will then race against the lowest placed boat of those that did race across the lake. The winner will progress to the next round until a winner is determined. If by chance no boats complete the race across all racers will be at the bottom and elimination for all will be by drawing names.\nA course will be set to the approval of this year’s race  committee  and a race will consist of a minimum of 4 legs (2 laps).\nRacing will end by completing the elimination races or when the hosts ( Maggie & Neil ) determine it is time for all of us to leave. If all the elimination races have not been completed at that time the order of finish will be whatever your placement was at the time races were cancelled.\nThe very coveted 1st\, 2nd\, and 3rd (gold\, silver\, Bronze) place awards will be presented to those who will have earned their place in history.\n\nThese races will not be included in the Overall High Point Series or Fall Series\, but it would be a shame not to participate…Hope to see you there! \nAdmiral Nelson URL:https://rclaser.org/event/the-atkins-hospitality-elimination-regatta/ LOCATION:Canandaigua Lake RC Lasers\, 3524 West Lake Road \, Canandaigua\, NY\, 14424 \, United States CATEGORIES:Notice of Race ORGANIZER;CN="Nelson Habecker":MAILTO:rcsailors@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150812 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150813 DTSTAMP:20260506T012002 CREATED:20150711T162306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150711T162306Z UID:2693-1439337600-1439423999@rclaser.org SUMMARY:Collingwood Ontario Regatta DESCRIPTION:HOST: Collingwood Ontario Laser Fleet \nLOCATION: R.C.Y.C pond.

The Geezer ‘Gatta is a competitive and cooperative venture: competitive\, because everybody wants to do their best\, and cooperative\, because we all rely on each other to obey the rules and voluntarily take penalty turns when we realize (or are reminded) that we’ve broken one. This voluntary aspect is called the “Corinthian Spirit\,” after an early yacht club\, and is best expressed by the statement that you sail by the rules even when no one is looking. This is neither the Olympics nor the national championships – we’re here to have fun\, so relax and don’t sweat the small stuff!   Since the emphasis of the whole regatta is to have fun\, we do not allow “sea lawyering” or contentious disputes to mess up a good time.  Yelling at someone that has completely screwed-up is profoundly prohibited … unless you have never screwed up\, ever… and can prove it! \nCHANGES TO THE SAILING INSTRUCTIONS: The Race Director (RD) has the authority to change these Sailing Instructions during the course of the sailing day by announcing changes to competitors (posting is optional). \nELIGIBILITY: If you are 55 years of age\, and pay the entry fee\, you qualify.  Entries are strictly limited to the 30 available slots that fill early in the year\, but historically we have last minute cancels that open slots to the waiting list. \nUNIFORMITY: All RC Lasers supplied for this regatta will be identical in equipment and performance.  The host club will be responsible for maintenance\, but each skipper may adjust his/her assigned boat for racing (sail clew tension is only adjustment available).  Sails and radios are identical\, sails are marked with very large single digits\, and the transmitters are marked with the same digit. \nBOAT ASSIGNMENT: Local owners of RC Lasers will be assigned to a boat other than their own.  Visitors will be assigned to a boat (and team) based on performance survey.  Each participant will have only one boat to sail the entire regatta in hopes you can remember one sail number digit. \nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS:\nFriday\, April 24\n1:00–5:00 pm – Registration and familiarization sailing/racing with assigned RC Lasers on the Lake Providence course.  Settle-in for Home Stays.\n6:00 pm    Welcome Party – food and drink provided. Community maps provided at registration. \nSaturday\, April 25\n9:30 am    – Skippers Meeting\n10:00 am – First race with additional races to follow.\nLunch will be served at the race site during break in racing.\n6:00 pm    – Dinner Party – food and drink provided. \nSunday\, April 26\n9:30 am    – First Race with additional races to follow\nLunch will be served at the race site during break in racing\n3:00 pm    – Last heat starts no later than 3 pm\n4:00 pm    – Awards presented in the ballroom. \nENTRY FEE: $135.00 (early entrant fee – before March 15\, 2015 is only $125.00). This fee covers participation fees\, Welcome Party Friday Evening\, Dinner Party Saturday evening\, lunches Saturday & Sunday\, and trophies.  NOTE: There is a 50% cancellation fee after March 31st. \nFor Spouses:  $55 includes 2 suppers and 2 lunches. \nSCORING: Scoring will be done using the low point system.  First place boat gets 1 point; second place gets 2 points and so on.  The low point score wins.   Tie breakers will include all races including throw-outs. \nWe’ll do the scoring\, and we will post the scores as we go along. No bitching at the computer!  All scores will appear on a flat screen TV at the racing venue in real time.  No touchy the TV! \nNote: Real time postings do not include throw-outs.  The final calculations\, including the throw-outs\, will be done at the end of racing on Sunday and usually results in some change in standings. \nINFORMATION:\nRegatta Chairman: Tim DeWitt TDDD1009@yahoo.com 615-758-3257\nRegistrations: Randy McDonald mcdonald.rj@gmail.com 615-758-8288\nHomeStay: Clayton Fryer claytonfryer@tds.net 615-773-2410 \nENTRY FORM: Geezer ‘Gatta 2015 Entry Form & Notice of Race \nFULL SAILING INSTRUCTIONS: Geezer ‘Gatta 2015 Sailing Instructions URL:https://rclaser.org/event/geezer-gatta-15/ LOCATION:Lake Providence\, 1100 Del Webb Boulevard\, Mount Juliet\, TN\, 37122\, United States CATEGORIES:Notice of Race ORGANIZER;CN="Tim DeWitt":MAILTO:TDDD1009@yahoo.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150418 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150419 DTSTAMP:20260506T012002 CREATED:20150228T135134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150328T105111Z UID:2556-1429315200-1429401599@rclaser.org SUMMARY:2015 Shamrock Regatta DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: THE REGATTA HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 18TH AT RIVERTON YACHT CLUB. \nNOTICE: DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS\, THE REGATTA HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
