LOTSA LASERS REGATTA
Harbor Island Yacht Club invites you to sail in the thirty-fifth
annual Lotsa Lasers Regatta on Old Hickory Lake September 24 &
25.
2010. We plan short-course races following three-minute
starting sequences governed by the rules as defined in The
Racing Rules of Sailing with changes made to RRS 29.1
(Individual Recalls will be hailed), A2 (Scoring to exclude a
“throw out” if six or more races are completed) and 67 with
respect to 42 (Propulsion will result in an excludable
disqualification) as detailed in the sailing instructions.
These may be reviewed at the website,
www.hiyc.org (.Regattas
.LotsaLasers) along with directions (.About HIYC .Driving
Directions and .Map) and weather. Breakfast and lunches will be
provided and there will be a lasagna dinner Saturday night. And
there will be awards...for the top three juniors (age 17 and
under) and for the top “new junior” (sailing in a district Laser
regatta for the first time)...for the first lady...apprentice
master (35-44), master (45-54), grand master (55-64), great
grand master (65 and over), featherweight (under 60 kg),
Clydesdale (over 80 kg)...and for the top four finishers
overall. All will be eligible for the dreaded MOP (middle of
the pack) and for the highly prized Bookend Award (presented to
the skipper who starts in every race and finishes with the
highest point total). Radials will compete as a separate class
for “top three” awards.
The registration fee will be $35 which includes lunches Saturday
and Sunday, dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning.
ILCA members will receive a $5 discount. Please present your
ILCA membership card when you register! Juniors will also
receive a $10 discount. Saturday only sailors’ fee $20. Sunday
