Racing Guide 2021 BEVERLY YACHT CLUB 2021 RACING GUIDE including Notice of Races Location of BYC Racing Marks BYC Racing Safety Protocol 99 Water Street Post Office Box 181 Marion, MA 02738-0181 Phone: (508) 748-0540 Fax: (508) 748-0771 www.beverlyyachtclub.org Page 1 of 41 Dear BYC Members and Racers and Visiting Racers, Welcome to the 2021 racing season at the Beverly Yacht Club! The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to BYC racing during the summer of 2020. Racing began in the summer with smaller fleets, although the less competitive nature of the racing did bring out a number of boats new to BYC racing.! Many of the Buzzard’s Bay Trophy races were cancelled in 2020, although BYC was able to run the Parker Converse Tower race and the Hurricane Cup. BYC was finally able to start organized Series Racing again on July 9th. During the summer of 2020 BYC was able to hold over 90 races, run by 87 BYC volunteer Race Officers. The Race Committee did not score races in 2020 because of all the uncertainties related to COVID-19, but participants were recorded. Additionally, BYC’s Fall Racing series from September 13, 2020 to October 11, 2020 was highly successful, attracting more than the regular number of BYC participants. The BYC Race Committee has been hard at work this fall and winter planning a full schedule of races for the summer of 2021 as well as preparing contingencies for the possibility of continuing to only be allowed to race under some form of Commonwealth or local Guidelines. Preparing for contingencies is good planning and will allow BYC to always be prepared to provide support for racing at BYC this summer. Should this discourage you from thinking about or preparing to race at BYC in the summer of 2021? Absolutely not! Under the toughest of Guidelines last summer BYC racers and the Race Committee persevered to continue the long and proud tradition of racing at BYC. This summer, we should all be just as committed to continuing that BYC legacy and tradition. Please don’t forget that racing at BYC is Member run. The Race Committee is always seeking volunteer Members to assist running BYC races on Commodores. I would strongly encourage all of BYC’s Members, whether you actively participate in any of the racing series at BYC or not, to consider volunteering to assist in putting on BYC’s races. After all, the view from Commodores on a gorgeous summer afternoon is pretty hard to beat… You don’t have to know a lot about sailboat racing. There are many roles on the committee boat; check in, timing, scoring, flag handler, etc. that can be done with little or no sailboat racing knowledge or experience. And all of these roles, from the Race Officer to the assisting Race Officers are critical to allow BYC to provide the quantity and quality of racing that our Club is known for. Sign up to be a BYC race volunteer is on the BYC web site, on the “RACING” tab, under the “Commodores Assistance” menu option. The BYC Council and the entire BYC Race Committee look forward to seeing everyone on the water this summer. Questions on racing at BYC? Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
