    Default Farallones Race Signups?

    I went to the event management site and found that the Farrallones Race registration will only be open one day? Is that correct or is it a computer glitch? I may not have computer access that day and may also miss the skipper's meeting. Is there another way to enter?

    Thanks,
    -jak

    Hi Jak,

    It's a glitch. Registrations will open later this week and will remain open until 2400 on May 12. We want to make sure that we have all the bases covered for the information we need for the race permit and not have to ask for additional things after folks have registered.

    so does this means that the skippers meeting is on the 12th not the 19th?

    Default PLB Rentals, if you need one for the SHF

    http://www.plbrentals.com/

    Only $54 included post paid envelope for returning it.

    I also would like to know whether the skippers meeting is the 12th and not the 19th (Wed before) as in previous outings.

    The skippers meeting is on the 12th. The reason for the extra days is to get the paperwork to the Coast Guard in time for the race. The Half Moon Bay Race (The other SSS ocean race) skippers meeting will be on August 18th, ten days before the race for the same reason.

    Default Expect reduced participation

    A "lot" of people like to wait for offshore races to get a better picture of the likely wind/waves. In years' past there were many folks who waited until the Wed before or even the Thurs (or Friday) and begged to be admitted at the very last moment. So our 33rd running of the race will likely have low participation (or a lot of unhappy campers because "that's not the way we've done it in the past").

    I suggest that a general email be sent to all the participants in the 3BF this year (easily done using the Compete-At software) to notify folks of the moved-up deadline as well as skippers meeting. Yah, it is spam to many of them, but many do not read the forum.
