    GCR still on

    Good Morning.

    The current sustain wind forecast for 1300 today is at or below 23 mph, which is the maximum sustained wind range we look at for running a regatta. Therefore, we are planning to start the Great Chase Race as scheduled. We do recognize that there will be gusts greater than 23 and ask skippers and crew to carefully assess their vessel and crews ability to compete in these conditions.  The dinner and party are also on as scheduled after racing.  See you soon.

    GCR Ammended SI regarding Start Times

    As it is quite likely that the wind conditions will be such that all boats would be able to complete the Long Course(11 nm), we have removed the short course option.  In it's place we have created 2 start times for each boat that is based on the actual wind conditions 15 min minimum prior to the race warning signal.   The 2 start times will be based on Medium and Heavy wind ratings from your rating data.

    The amended SI has been posted on the race info page.

    GCR Weather Update

    As of now, the Great Chase Race is on, as scheduled. 
     
    We are watching NOAA alerts closely to see what impact weather may have on running the race Saturday.  Due to the wide variety of vessels that participate in this event, it is important that SKIPPERS and their crew make the decision whether they feal safe enough to race or not race.  Cancellation of the race would be the decision of the Race Committee and will primarily be based on the safety of the Committee boats and personnel running the regatta.  
    The final review will be made between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM.  
     
    The regatta party will be happening at the scheduled time whether or not race is held.
     
    Dave C and the GCR Committee.
