Final Race of 2025 Season - Saturday, November 10 - A beautiful day, but painfully slow racing until we all agreed to call the race and finish in place (FIP) at approx 1:00pm after most boats could no longer reach the next mark due to adverse currents causing most boats to "sail backwards". Light winds and swift incoming and outgoing currents resulted after 3 hours of "racing" with only one boat, Fin, actually reaching and rounding Mark 5, which was only 3.4nm into an 8.0nm race. We would probably have been out in Cumberland Sound until the end of the afternoon, or later, had we not ended the misery. Thanks to Nan and Jason Walker and Laurie Carter on the Race Committee Boat. Boats competing and their places when the race was called: Fin, Misty, Salty Sally, On Eagle's Wings, Morning Glory, Blown Aweigh. Results and Race Photos can be seen by clicking on the links below.
2025 Racing Season Results - The 2025 Racing Season included 10 local AISC Races, sailed in Cumberland Sound without spinnakers, plus two annual 26nm ocean races with spinnaker and non-spinnaker classes - the Coastal Cup Race from Amelia Island to St. Simons Island in the spring, and the GA-FL Ocean Challenge Race from St. Simons Island to Amelia Island in the fall. AISC Season Racing Awards for the top three boats in each of the Performance Class (PHRF spinnaker rating less than 135) and Cruising Class will be presented at the AISC Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner at Tiger Point Marina on November 18. While 10 Races were scheduled, one race was cancelled mid-race by the US Coast Guard due to a submarine arrival, so the race was not scored. With nine completed race days, three-throw outs were allowed, resulting inthe top finishers for the season in each class as below.
