Its that time of year again. Time to start thinking about racing.

What: Skippers conference –We will be discussing the racing program for 2010 and all related events.

When: 23 Jan starting at 11:15am till approx 3:15pm

Where: Rose and Crown Pub & Bistro
1203 56th Street
Delta, BC V4L2A6

     This year we will try something a bit different and hold a conference for skippers and crew at the Rose and crown as they were such great hosts for our end of series get together. The Pub does not open till 11am so please be prompt so we can get going quickly. This way we can enjoy a pint and have some good food while going over the race program for the year. We have a couple of new boats to welcome and some new races to discuses. I look forward to seeing you all on the 23rd.

And please invite any boats thinking of racing or contemplating some of our fun races.

Conclusion

Are you going through racing withdrawal? Maybe not as much as our fleet captain is. However, you can get your still get your racing fix this holiday season, and without freezing any essential body parts too. Yes - from the comfort of your favourite computer armchair, peanut butter sandwich in hand, you can race in our online series! Races are each Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 8pm.

This game is wickedly cool. The graphics are spectacular. The scenarios are nifty, the controls are easy. Did I mention that it is free?

Plan ahead it takes about an hour to down load and read the instructions.
 
Here is the game site.  Download for free here.
 
Install the game then go to the multiplayer game when you are ready. Find the game hosted by “Vampire” in the Canada and BC area.
 
You can join the game with the password “PRYC”.
 
Let your crew know if you wish - all are welcome. Right now we are ready for 20 boats at a time.
  
Each race lasts between 20 and 30 minutes of great fun.
 
See you on the racecourse.

Thanks to recent prompting by Damian, the PRYC Racing Forum has come alive lately. So much so, that I moved the link to enter the forum to the top menu bar (look up between "Crew Registration" and "Point Roberts Yacht Club". Hopefully that makes it convenient for everyone to participate.

You must register a user account to submit. It just takes a minute. Click on "Create an account" at the bottom of the left navigation bar.

Please review and respect the forum posting rules.
