Southern Bay Racing News You Can Use #590 and #591
SBRNYCU is an independent weekly publication of southern Chesapeake Bay racing happenings. Founded in April, 2000.
Try sailing - it's NOT easy! - Bill Schanen, SAILING Magazine
A bolt out of the blue! Because many of you asked about and reported missing your SBRNYCU last Monday, here’s what happened:Last Monday, for the first time in 12 years, we unintentionally missed publication. Friday night (May 4) a lightning bolt crushed, fried and severed the PHONE lines in our neighborhood. They were dangling, frayed and torn from the pole. The strike was very near, too near, our neighbor’s and our houses. But, we were lucky. We lost three of five phones, the garage door opener (and the garage is not even attached), and the water pump station went down momentarily and caused gray water to arrive in the pipes (later flushed out and all was well). The darned thing jumped all the surge protectors, grounds, etc on the phone lines and ate the SBRNYCU motherboard! So, a lot of time was spent determining the damage, trying and failing to repair equipment, and finally getting equipment in place and operating. (Special thanks to new friends at MCS in Churchland, and old friends Eric Matherne for recommending MCS and Pete Burch for helping get everything back on line.)Murphy is back at work. And, thank you, Dear Readers, for your patience.SBRNYCU
This week on America's Cup Uncovered we look back at the four AC World Series events in Cascais, Plymouth, San Diego and Naples where we saw the vision of the best sailors on the fastest boats come to reality. We study the impressive depth of talent among the skippers and crews on each team, and what it takes to live life on the edge. As we are pushing the limits on the AC45s, we check in with ORACLE Racing's build team as they are deep in AC72 design. It's full steam ahead in San Francisco as Mayor Edwin Lee of and ORACLE Racing's Sir Russell Coutts sign the city agreement and construction starts on Pier 27-29, home of the 34th America's Cup.
Past RRYC Junior Sailor's Team Qualifies for ISSA Nationals Posted May. 14, 2012
RRYC's own ANNABEL CARRINGTON, freshman at CCS, and her team qualified for the Interscholastic Sailing Association Nationals (Mallory) and is in Seattle as we speak racing this weekend. Results from yesterday at http://www.hssailing.org/documents/results.html
Annabel crews on the A1 boat with junior Kyle Burgess from Bermuda. This regatta is fleet racing. Christchurch tied for first place in the VISSA this season with Norfolk Collegiate, but CCS won the districts at Toms River two weeks ago to qualify for nationals.

Volvo Ocean Race Posted May. 12, 2012
There was drama and excitement today as Puma won Leg 6 of the Volvo Ocean Race on the home waters of Miami, Florida...with Camper only a short distance behind in second place. Both skippers - Ken Read and Chris Nicholson were delighted with the result.

Friday, June 8, 2012 - TALL SHIPS PARADE OF SAIL - from Lynnhaven Anchorage to downtown Norfolk-Portsmouth;
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - PARADE UP THE CHESAPEAKE BAY - destination Baltimore.
Many activities are planned with Parades of Sail, Ship Tours, Air Shows, Festivals and Fireworks. Food, fun and 1812 historic celebrations will abound. The events are free and open to the public.
