Fleet 5
Training Series
It has been a long winter, to help get everyone up to speed,
improve the whole Fleet’s competitive skills, and try out the latest in
tracking & remote buoy technology we plan a series of races were each boat
will be recorded with on the water filming and a group debrief afterwards.
Championship
Series
For those seeking the highest level of competition, this
series of Colors and Verve Cup will demand boat speed, handling and tactics
over several days of intense buoy racing.
These are Class A1 events. No pros are allowed. The series will be scored by the low point
system with no throw outs.
Larsen Marine - Weekend Warrior
Series
This series is a great way to get into One Design buoy
racing or just sharpen your team’s skills throughout the summer. These will be Class C
1
races so you can bring a sailing professional, sailmaker, or coach. Just remember the class weight rules apply
and your pro will count toward that limit. However, for this series if the
crew weight will be exceed; the pro can stay on the center line and will not
count towards the crew's weight. The series is scored with the high point
scoring system and no throw outs.
Vin Chicago - Distance Series
Fluky winds and big shifts are a major part of sailing on
Lake Michigan. However, with great boat speed, some navigation skills, and a
little bit luck these challenging port-to-port races are a lot of fun.
Plus, there's always a great party at the
finish.
These races will be Class C
3 events so you can bring a sailing pro, sailmaker, or
coach. The series is scored with the high
point scoring system and new this year with one throw out. In case of a tie,
finish position in the last race will be used to determine winner.
** New this year the Third Coast Cup – This may be added to
the Shorthanded Series
Beer Can Series
As part of Chicago Race Week & based upon a huge turnout
for the inaugural 2019 event, once again there will be the 100 Boats on a Beer
Can (Day 1 & Day 2). For more information on these two races see the CASRA
website. A great way to get out on the lake do some casual racing and enjoy the
sights. These races are Class C3 events. As part of Chicago Race Week & based upon
a huge turnout for the inaugural 2019 event this will be a night to remember.
Short
Handed Series
In recognition of the growing desire for
shorthanded racing CASRA has worked with a number of Clubs to offer dedicated
sections in several regattas. The J105 with its asymmetric spinnaker is the perfect
shorthanded boat. We have several boats that regularly participate in the Solo
Mac and other such events. Here is your chance to get out there and test
yourself and support some great causes.
** New this year the Third Coast
Cup – This may be added to the Shorthanded Series
