PredictWind Tracker for RYC Winter Series

This winter you will be able to track your RYC series racing using the PredictWind Tracker – a smartphone app that uses your phone’s GPS to keep track of participating boats’ tracks. You’ll have to set up your phone with the PredictWind tracker app and join a US$3 annual subsciption service to track (but not to view in the app, that’s free). For more information go to the PredictWind Tracker site. Active and recent races can also be watched online.

Race Management Seminar – This Wednesday 7:30PM

Our race officer, Margaret Harvey, will be putting on a seminar to introduce RYC members to race management. Anyone interested in learning about race man-
agement practices relevant to keelboat racing should plan to attend. With luck
we’ll find a few keen members or future members interested in learning race man-
agement to support the club. The seminar will be held on May 15th at 19:30 at the
RYC clubhouse. Please RSVP to Glenda.
