Boat preparation, racing schedule, sailing instructions

Mercedes has a launch date of Tuesday, May 17, 1:30pm, at Anchor's Way.  No substantial prerequisite projects to prepare for launch this year, especially compared to the nightmare last spring rebuilding the grid mounting structure for the keel, re-bedding and torqueing the keel bolts, and re-installing the hoses and wiring!  

The launch prep tasks are described on the Maintenance tab above, and I will keep the daily schedule up to date in the Upcoming Events sidebar at the right.

St. Joseph River Yacht Club just distributed their 2022 racing schedule, and I have placed all the dates on the Schedule tab above.  Plan ahead!  The only major change from last year is that the Michigan City PHRFection race in August has been discontinued.  The out-of-town and distance races are tentative, depending on interest of the crew.

Also, this year's SJRYC sailing instructions are linked on the Racing tab.  There are very few changes to the conduct of the racing program from last year.
