Racers - please check and update your registrations

If you race at Jericho on Sunday or Tuesday night, you can see your finishes in each race, and overall for each day you race, at jracing.org. To see your name as well as your sail number, and to be included in the series results, you need to register.

Online registration is fairly straight forward at jracing.org, but please watch a couple of things:

1. If you sail club boats. When you register, the default Start and End dates for your registration are set to January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. This is fine if you always sail the same boat. However, if you sail a club boat, using different sail numbers on different days, you will probably have to register each time you sail, entering the correct sail number, and setting both the Start and End dates to the day you sailed that boat. You can register as often as you need to, but each registration must have the correct class, sail number, and dates. (I plan to make it easier to do this, but for now, please do it by registering each time you sail, and changing the default dates.)

2. A new crew for a day. If you normally have the same person as crew, but a different person crews for you on one day, you need to do a couple of things. First, you will need two registrations for your regular crew. The first registration should have an End date a day or so before your alternate crew sailed. The second registration should have a Start date a day or two after that date. Then you need to register your alternate crew (or they can register themselves) for the day when they sailed (i.e. Start and End dates set to that day). If you register your alternate crew, without changing the registration for your regular crew, you will see three people listed for your boat on the day you had the alternate crew.

Please help us keep the race and series results up to date, complete, and correct by checking and updating your race registrations as required.

Thanks for your help with this.

The English Bay Safety Seminar was developed for users of the Jericho Sailing Centre to help keep them safe at play on the waters of English Bay. The seminar covers basic water safety fundamentals along with user specific information drawn from the logs of the Jericho Rescue Team who have intervened in thousands of "sea disasters" over the past 39 years.

  Why make your own mistakes when you can learn from the mistakes of others? Don't challenge Darwin's theory, make sure your water safety knowledge is the fittest it can be. Your survival may well depend upon it. Find the missing links and fill in the gaps in your water safety knowledge by attending a FREE English Bay Safety Seminar on August 19 at 1900H RSVP JSCA office.
