Hi Everyone - As you know, my parents (Vern and Jerry) and their friends have put on the post-race soup-and-bread-fest for the past 10 or 11 years. Over that time frame, many of their friends have mov

Laura, I'm there. Anything that you may want, from food to set-up to clean-up. I'd like to do the race though. and would appreciate it if you'd remind me a little before race day. Steve === message tr

There is a program used in rowing called Regattamaster, written by a rower here in Portland, Steve Jensen. The package costs $350 or $400, and can be used to manage a club (dues paid, membership maili

What we could use is a set of narrow strips of whiteboard, one per boat, clipped or Velcroed to a backing. Everybody signing in puts their name(s) and boat number and class on a strip. The timers have

Has anyone messed with race timing software at an SR race? (Er, besides the San Juan Challenge.) I know there are some high end packages out there for major relays & multi-segment races. However, It m
