The first event of the Hamlin Series is the Halloween Regatta, October 28 at ABYC. Because this is a one day regatta the Race Committee has generously offered to continue running races after the other fleets are done - especially if the conditions are good. We plan to have a clinic Sunday, but we need to know if you are interested so we can plan accordingly. Contact me at bmais@maisco.com for more details.
The application for the 2018 SCYYRA Team is now live. We have extended the due date for application submission, to midnight on October 22, 2017. The 2018 SCYYRA Team will be announced on November 4th at the SCYYRA board meeting.
Regatta Toolbox is proud to partner with SCYYRA for the 2017 and 2018 sailing season to help deliver a consistent regatta experience for organizers, parents, and fans. Launched in 2015 by a former SCYYRA sailor, Regatta Toolbox is helping to streamline the registration process, specifically when entering any SCYYRA Series. This new platform allows anyone to “double register” at the time of entry for both the standalone event, as well as the Series, making it easier to keep Series scores up to date. Regatta Toolbox also allows parents to register multiple children for a single event under one account, streamlining the registration process. Event entries can be managed all through a single dashboard so updating sail numbers, crew name, or emergency information has never been easier. Regatta Toolbox has also worked with SCYYRA to help build a membership database, which you might be asked to join at specific events. If you haven’t signed up for a free SCYYRA membership, be sure to do so today!
SCYYRA is pleased to announce that we are changing the way we charge Series fees. You will now incur a one time Series entry fee of $5 for a single handed Series, and $20 for a double handed series. And when you enter a regatta, a portion of the regatta entry fee will be sent to SCYYRA to support the Series. Regatta Tool box will send you separate receipts for each of these fees. All you have to do is register for the regatta. The app takes care of it all, the first time you enter a regatta in a SCYYRA Series.
The purpose of this method is to, 1) reduce the cost of entering the series for kids giving the series a try. And, 2) to auto enroll sailors in the Series, when they register for a regatta. The Regatta Toolbox app makes it much easier to register for a regatta, find regatta details, and see results.
Feel free to give your local SCYYRA board member a call if you have any questions.
Congratulations to the 17 sailors selected for the 2017 SCYYRA Advanced Racing Team!
