Hello Laser Sailors,
It is that time of year again. Time to start dusting off those dry suits and checking the seals. Frostbiting will soon be upon us.
The SSA Laser Frostbiting series will begin Sunday, Nov. 16. NOR is below.
This year there are a few changes in race management. Everyone who participates is required to do one day of Race Committee duty in order to be scored for the series. There must always be one SSA member on each boat, so Non-SSA members will be paired up with members. If you are planning on Frostbiting, please send me a list of open dates from the schedule below that you are available for RC duty. Tenative RC schedule is below. There are some Saturday dates where we will be providing RC for Interclub team racing.
As always, Frostbiting is free for SSA members. For non-SSA members the fee is $182 - make checks payable to Severn Sailing Association. Forms will be available at the registration table on Nov. 16.
Registration is mandatory. No one who is not registered will be allowed to remain on the race course.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you on the race course!
