North American Championship - Declaration Update

There has been some confusion regarding declarations for the 2010 North American Championship.

You must register and pay on Yachtscoring, once that is complete you must make all declarations on the J105 National Website.  It will also update automatically so you may find out where your boat is in the declaration process. 

If you declared your crew on Yachscoring's system you will have to also enter the information on the J105 National Website.  The data will not transfer.

Please direct any questions to the Fleet Measurer, Paul Petkus.

North American Championship - Boat Weighing Update

From the Fleet 5 Measurer Paul Petkus (p.gytis@{removethis}gmail.com):


The boat weigh lottery results are as follows:

Hey Jude-Sail #CAN110
Convexity-Sail #USA29
Sealark-Sail #USA349
Kashmir-Sail #USA632
The Asylum-Sail #673

These five (5) boats must be weighed. 

The weighing will be done on Monday September 13th. 10:00am until finished. Crowley's will reserve ample dock for each boat to have space to unload gear, be inspected and move under the crane.  I expect the entire process to take less than two (2) hours. Once weighed and reloaded boats may shove off immediately.

A weather delay will push the inspection and weigh to Tuesday September 14th. Same time and parameters.

Thank you for your attention and see you all at Crowley's!

For those interested the numbers were chosen by 5 non-sailors via email with no knowledge of which race the lottery is for.  Once the numbers were gathered the registrants were sorted by sail number and the corresponding line number was matched to the numbers picked by the emailed number providers.  The sorting decision was made after the numbers were picked.  The sort options were sail number ascending, boat name descending, owner last name ascending, phone number descending. A sixth person was emailed to choose the sort format. 

PLEASE NOTE, ANY AND ALL COMPETING BOATS MAY STILL BE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE WEIGHING AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE MEASURER OR HIS DESIGNATE.
