The 38th Annual Lake George Ticonderoga Race
Saturday, June 18, 2011
Registration BBQ will take place at Yankee Marina on Friday June 17 between 6 and 9 pm. All sailboats on Lake George are encouraged to participate. You can download entry forms and sailing instructions here or take care of that at registration. Please help our friends at Camp Chingachgook by seeking donations from family, friends, and corporations to help support the Y-Knot sailing program. The registration fee of $50 (which also gets you into all scheduled Corinthian races and an end-of-year BBQ at Nate Dickinson's house) can be made out to "The Corinthians", while separate donations can be made out to “YMCA / Y-Knot Sailing.” The entry fee will be waived for any of the Y-Knot Martin 16s that participate in the sprint race.
2011 Update: All competing yachts in all fleets will be required to take their own time at the finish and report to Kyle Lavoy. Contact Kyle via VHF on channel 66 or by phone at (518) 796-9428.
Open to all sailors on Lake George, the Lake George Ticonderoga Race consists of four fleets. A short Sprint Race, and three long-distance races. Any sailboat is welcome in the Sprint Race; see the Notice of Race (pdf) for restrictions on boat eligibility for the longer races). All fleets are scored using the PHRF Time on Time scoring system.
Start time for all fleets is 9:30 am in front of Yankee Boating Center.
The Sprint Race (Blue Fleet) is a short race around Dome Island. Distance is approximately 9 miles.
The Multihull Race (Red Fleet) uses a government buoy at the north end of the lake as a turning mark for a distance of about 45 miles.
The Monohull Non-Spinnaker Race (Yellow Fleet) rounds Gull Island near Hague for a distance of about 35 miles.
The Monohull Spinnaker Race (Green Fleet) uses a government buoy at the north end of the lake as a turning mark for a distance of about 45 miles.
Awards are given in all fleets. The winning skipper in the Monohull Spinnaker (Green) Fleet is awarded the Brodie Cup, a perpetual trophy named in honor of Bob and Sheila Brodie of Yankee Boating Center, longtime supporters of the Corinthians and of sailing on Lake George.
The Ti Race is once again a benefit for the Y-Knot Sailing Program. So join us for a weekend of fun and camaraderie, and test your sailing skills in the only long-distance race on Lake George!
