(as of 9 August)
With the Wednesday B Series now completed, it’s time to start checking how the qualifications for the club championship are shaping up. Remember that it’s based on the total of your best 16 races (and the race needs 3 boats in your fleet to have completed for it to count). The top boat secures a place in the club championship, and the runner up qualifies for a spot in the wild-card race.
So far, the top positions in each fleet are:
PHRF1A: Slim (15), Still Lost Boys (29), Group Therapy (38)
PHRF1B/2: Jazz (20), Won Ton (39), Springbok (65)
PHRF1A: Shigawac (48), Will o Wind (51.5), Sol Y Mar (65)
These positions can, however, change significantly once your fleet has completed more than 16 races because you will start to drop your worst scores. Dropping a couple of DNC’s or OCS’ can make a huge difference.
Also, remember that you need to have sailed 16 races to be qualify for the club championship. So far (excluding the C series), PHRF1B/2 has sailed 17 official races, PHRF3 13 and PHRF1A 11. With the C series and the last Saturday in the B series still to come, as well as Saturday B3 resail, that leaves 8 races to go. So, everyone can still qualify, but you will need to come out and sail.
