Web-site Downloads
The LSYC web-site contains downloadable files for members to print for personal use.
Race Declaration forms (keep a few on board!), Courses and Membership Applications Forms are available.
Also on-line is a copy of the Race Results form used for O/D duty. For those of us who occasionally volunteer for this duty, it could be handy to keep a few sheets on board.
The Race Declaration form has been updated following suggestions from members, and now contains an optional section to record the yacht in front and behind, along with race finish times. If provided, this information will be useful as a cross check when calculating results. Of course, the times recorded by the O/D will take priority, unless there is a problem. Version 1 of the form is still valid until stocks are used up.
Weekend Events April 28-29
Sat 28 @ 09.30. Crew Muster

The first classic of the season and a chance for early glory. Start at Fahan, race to buoy at back of Inch and return. Full details by O/D on the day.
2012 Club Class Handicaps
Club Class Handicaps have now been set for all racing yachts for 2012, valid until review at the end of June.
These will be displayed in the Clubhouse, and are now available on-line under the ‘Sailing Programme’ section of the club web-site, www.loughswillyyc.com
IRC class yachts whose rating certificates have not yet been received may race in the IRC class, with provisional results, until 30 April.
If you are new to club racing, and do not yet have a handicap, please contact the sailing secretary, Paul McSorley, on paul@mcsorleyp.wanadoo.co.uk
