web site updates
Hey Jim/Haulback,
Thanks! You beat me to the announcement about the new additions to the web site. My thanks go out to Rob/Tigerbeatle ("She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....") for getting the postings, well..., posted!
Please have a look. Pull up the calculator and enter your PHRF cert data (or your competitors) in the yellow boxes at the top, and BINGO, your PCR rating is crunched before your very eyes (aye aye said the pirate) and pops up in the yellow box at the bottom. It's computer magik.
Another major addition to the web site is the list of all the corrected Trans Pac race results since 1978. Special thanks to Peter/Aotea and to Stan/Illusion for gathering and collating. This will pop up in an excel spread sheet so you have the power to sort the data on corrected time, elapsed time, year, boat type. Golly, just hours of fun!!
Let's see, there is also a page showing the emergency rudder designs for most of the race entrants, soon to be completed as I get the remaining drawings and photos. And an inspection check list, thanks to Bill/Ergo for putting that together.
Also, please note on the entry list that we broke the 20 barrier and are currently at 21. With about 1 week to go before the entry deadline, there are still a handful of racers on the fence, so a good chance of getting this years race into the #2 spot for participation. #1 spot is 1980 with a starting count of 38!!! #2 is 2004 with 24, and #3 has a tie at 23 for 1978 & 2000. As I mentioned in a previous post, the deadline for mail-in entries is next Saturday, Tres de Mayo, but the deadline of hand-in entries (accompanied with a 'rita on the rocks no salt) is at the next seminar on Monday, Cinco de Mayo (arriba arriba) at the Spinnaker YC in San Leandro, CA. If you get your entry forms and fees in by this 10 week deadline, that will buy you 7 more weeks of boat prep time until the June 21st deadline for refund requests. That time extension will only cost you $200, but giving up now will cost you much much more.
Come on boyz and girlz, it's rally time!!
