New Fleet Division!

Описание: To LLSC members :


We are happy to announce the formation of the new Magnum Division of the keelboat Fleet. This is a result of the success we had with the informal Beneteau races that went on last fall. The goal of this division is to incorporate more of the larger boats into events that may be more enjoyable for the casual racer or cruiser. We hope to get more participation from the members and get more boats out sailing. We hope to schedule events that are more creative, that incorporate longer courses, weather permitting, and fun activities in which we all can participate.


To qualify for the Magnum Division, you must have a PHRF rating of 80 or higher. It is easy to get one if you do not have. In addition, your boat must be over 26’ in length and weigh over 6000 lbs. You must meet all three of the criteria to enter this division. The Division will schedule its own events, with a goal of ten this year. You certainly can race in any of the other keelboat events under the PHRF fleet as well. This is in addition to the existing race schedules.


There will be no fees to join this Division and all races & events will be Saturdays only. In addition, there will be no restrictions on sails or spinnakers, but time allowances will be given to non - Spinnaker boats.

If other allowances are needed to make the competition more equitable, that will be developed as we see where it is needed.


We hope everyone eligible will sign up and find this as a great way to get more involved with the club and enjoy participating in the events.

Please let us know if you have questions. Keep in mind that while we have an outline to start, with input from those who join, more details will develop to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone!
