Time: If you are looking to crew, be down at the ramp by 5:30PM. If you are sailing, the starting window will be between 6:25:00P M and 6:30:00 PM (unless modified in the spring/fall per board decision changing racing rule 5/5.1).

Overview:

The “Gosling Rum” race course will change from week to week based on weather or other conditions. Please check for a posting on the east door of the LMSA Club House for the course for that night. The course will be posted by 5:30 PM, the day of the race. Once a course is posted no course changes will be made. You must sign in before racing and sign out after racing. Texting in a race time will constitute signing out.
Cross the starting line between 6:25:00 PM, and 6:30:00 PM. If you can’t get to the starting line by the end of the starting time window, you can start your race timer at 6:30 PM. You can then sail the proper course and submit you time for scoring. In addition, having started a race you can restart the race during the start time window if you choose, reset your race timer and start it again when you cross the start line.

Keep your own elapsed time.

Sign-out as soon as possible upon your return to the dock. There are two ways: 1. Sign out with your time on the sign in/sign out sheet; or 2. Text the club phone number with your time. The texting number is 321-578-8364. It is your responsibility to sign out or you will not be scored. After successfully signing out, go to the designated establishment for the refreshments of your choice, scoring, and awards. If due to an incident on the water during the race a sailor would like to participate in our informal rules protest process, they may fill out a protest form at the post race gathering place. An anonymous, informal, non binding review and opinion will be provided by committee members for learning purposes only.
Remember our Sponsor and have a Dark and Stormy.

If you haven’t already submitted your score. Report your time to the official scorer. He will most likely be behind a laptop computer. You may text your elapsed time (and boat name) to the club number, 321-578-8364, (cell phone number posted with sign-in) or write your time on the sign out sheet provided.

Giveaways will be awarded that day via a drawing. Skipper or appointed crew member must be present to accept the giveaways. If nobody from the boat is available, a new winner will be drawn.
