Test sail with new mast and new main to dial in the rig tune and preliminary instrument calibration.
Times are 1400 and 1630 – when you set availability please indicate in crew comment which times are ok for you and if you are able to do both.
Plan is to head out at 1400 and check the instruments, rig tune and make sure everything is run correctly. We should be back to the dock by 4pm for those that need to get off. If others come at 4:30 we’ll go out and continue the checks, with a nice pleasure sail too. Conditions permitting we will also do a spinnaker run once all the calibration, headsail and main checks are complete.
There is beer on the boat. Feel free to bring any munchies if desired.
Be at Navy Marina Slip A49 - Thu May 20th @ 2:00PM EDT

Thank you for a great time. That hour penelty seems steep. If you look at yellow brick there were a few other boats in our class that were just inside that south east dot. Not sure how picky they were being.
Either way great work by everyone. Enjoy the party.
Bill went to the protest hearing about our sailing in the exclusion zone to fix the spinnaker. The results of the protest was the RC added 1 hour to our corrected time. This put us in 2nd place for the youth entries. We would have had 1st in youth if not for this. Hope to see you all at the awards ceremony!
