Grande Maumelle Sailing Club Underground
Welcome to the Underground!
The Underground is still going strong. Now that the official club site is
useful and up to date, some of the things you've found here in the past are
at the official site, where they belong. Now I can focus on the fun
things and leave the work to others! Check out the photo gallery, it's growing
rapidly.
You vs. Them updated for 2011-12
At least the A Fleet is almost current, except for Joe Hilliard's Beneteau.
I'll include the B Fleet any day now... You vs. Them.
Racing schedule right to your calendar – FIXED!
You can download the 2011-12 keelboat schedule
right into your calendar (Outlook or other program). And yes, I think the dates
are now correct, as of 1 December.
Latest photos in the gallery
Photos from June 2011 racing are the most recent in the
gallery.
Racing Rules of Sailing updated
The new
RRS (2009-2012) is now available online (as a pdf). If you've never bothered
to read the rules, go for that one, but the
marked-up version
is probably easier if you're already comfortable with the rules (as you should
be – you know who you are).
This one clearly shows all changes from the previous rules.
How to Score
Are you unsure how races are scored? Confused about how your boat's handicap
actually affects your finish place? Trying
to figure out why the Race Committee marks you down even when you finish first?
Stop cursing the RC and check out How to Score
for a better understanding of how the numbers work.
Sharpen your racing skills
Practice these simple online exercises to hone your skills
when you're not on the water. Currently includes exercises covering
compass-heading calculations you use on standard race courses (Olympic and
windward-leeward). Also includes headings on the opposite tack or gybe. You'll be amazed at how quickly your compass math improves with a bit of regular practice.
Lake Level
You can keep
track of the lake level and other data for Lake Maumelle at
Maumelle Guage.
