Grande Maumelle Sailing Club Underground
Welcome to the Underground!
The Underground is still going strong. The official club site is becoming
useful and up to date, so some of the things you've found here in the past are
at the official site these days, 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.
Regatta photos now available
Pictures from the 2008 Spring Keelboat Regatta and the 2008 Hawg Wild Regatta are now online at the
Pictures page.
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.
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.
Lake Level
You can keep
track of the lake level and a few other variables for Lake Maumelle at Maumelle
Guage.
