Windycrest Memorial Day Race

LDCS 2/5

Monday, May 31, 2021

Each year, WSC remembers and honors those who fought and died to keep us free. This year, the

annual long-distance race tradition continues and will also be scored as the second race of the

Windycrest Long-Distance Corinthian Series. The 5-race LD series is a fun way to celebrate the sailing

season holidays. Bring your family and friends, break out the boat and take them for fun and

memorable day on the lake.

START/FINISH: Starting Window: 11:00 am until 1 pm. Must finish by 3:00 pm. COURSE: Starting area in

or adjacent to cove. There will be two rounding marks. One will be south towards the 412 causeway, one

will be north towards the Walnut Creek area. After starting, you may sail to either mark first. After

rounding both marks return to finish. The length of the course will be determined by the prevailing

conditions of the day.

SCORING: 2021 Portsmouth Yardstick Handicap System will be used. Each race day starters will be

divided into three fleets as determined by the day’s PRO. The PRO will use, in no particular order, the

boat’s DPN and condition, the skipper’s experience or lack thereof, and crew’s experience or lack thereof

in categorizing the fleets for each race day. Overall Series scoring will be a boat’s top three scores.

PRIZES: Plans are for prizes three deep in three fleets each race day, and the same for the Overall Series

winners.

CORINTHIAN SERIES NOTES: This series is for a low-key good time. No intimidating start line. Sail the

direction you want. You are only restricted by five things: the time limits, going through the start line,

rounding each mark, and returning through the finish line. The PRO will attempt to set a course that

most boats should sail in 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Use these races to understand your boat, learn it’s capabilities,

and enjoy with your family and friends.
