The offshore division promotes PHRF weekend and mid-week twilight racing from Cape Ann to Scituate. Notice of Races (NORs) and Sailing Instructions (SIs) for these events are contained in this book as well as lots of other useful material including information on one-design and junior events. If you did not race last year, plan to enter a Wednesday or Thursday evening race this year. If you liked racing mid-week last year, try a weekend race this year. Weekend races often are just a longer version of a weeknight race. Another popular choice are pursuit races. There are six pursuit races that comprise the MBSA Pursuit Race Championship. These are fun races where slower rated boats start first, and the object is for all the boats to finish at about the same time. Racing is its own reward. You can’t lose by entering a race or a regatta. During the racing season log onto www.massbaysailing.org and www.phrfne.org, to check out what is happening on the racing scene, as well as to see how your competitors are doing in the season championships. Congratulations to the following skippers who competed in the 2008 Mass Bay Sailing Championship events, and won their respective classes: Merriman Trophy Class A KATABATIC Gordon Hall President’s Trophy Class B GOLDENEYE Peter Engel NE Ocean Racing Circuit Trophy J 105 CIRCE’S CUP Kevin & Dee Colcord Duplin Trophy Class C WHARF RAT RJ Dimattia PHRF Trophy Class D BLIXTEN Bruce Baker Vice President’s Bowl Class E PTERODACTYL Paul Smith Doyle Trophy Class F ARES Jim & Linda Hosking Eclipse Trophy Class G NONPAREIL Tom Anderson Competitor of the Year INCENTIVE Steve Bauer, Carl Doane, David Gray Bradford Trophy Pursuit Class CHOUCAS Jeff Talbot COMPETE WITH YOUR FLEET!
