NSSC Anchor Bay Fall Series NOR/App Sample SIs
2007 Results Fall Series Recap Article
October 5 (Boston Memorial & NSSC Leukemia Cup), October 12, 19 & 25
(Ocktoberfest will be on Sat 10/25)
This series has continued to gain more momentum over the years. No need to motor for over an hour through cold fall mornings to get to the course has been a key reason for the popularity with northern Lake St. Clair boats. The season always has a wide range of weather conditions in store, usually including abundant wind! NSSC can arrange for boat slips for out of town boats, available first come, first served. NSSC club house is always humming after the race, where food, beverages and great sailing stories are always abundant! Flags for each race!

NSSC Sloman Scramble Race Sample Flyer (Sample NOR/App) Results
September 14
According to lore, Bill Sloman always wanted a race that allowed the possibility of the slowest boat finishing first. He had a vested interest since his boat was the slowest. This race honors him and others with slower boats by starting in a staggered fashion according to the performance ratings. This, in theory, should have all the boats finishing at the same time! (Luckily, this rarely occurs!) Everyone needs to follow their watches carefully!! Every boat in North Star is given an official starting time, but it is up to them to create an official finishing time. |
