(A word from the organiser)
Hi everyone
For those of you who have not started getting ready – start panicking – especially if you have not checked your boat/engine – or have not finished building the boat that you have been talking about doing for the last 3 months…. J
ONE WEEK to go to sign up!!!!!!!!!!!
10 days to the race…. Seagull weather gods permitting….
Crash boats:
We have the following signed up –
Stephen Rossiter 504-0997 Dev Bay/Spittal Pond
Kim & Chester All way around
Charlie Crisson Final Sweep
Neil Stempel Gurnet Rock area
Steven Robert’s son North Shore
Martin & Nia Dixon - Castle Roads and final N Shore sweep
Dek Froud 505-7422 – North Shore area
Bruce Lorhan 534-7898 – slow all way around
A couple of unofficial/uncertain ones too –
But – if there are any more – please let me know
I NEED SOME CELL PHONE NUMBERS FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT SHOWING ON THE LIST
Items to note:
1) Trophies – please return them to Brian Anfossi/Charlie Brown/Beanie at Mills Creek Boat yard – CLEAN – and engraved as you wish
2) Remember – your boats need to be legal – registered at Marine& Ports and have all the required safety equipment
3) I also need to be able to recognize you – so please ensure your boat has a name and large number that I can read – don’t trust that I will see the person driving…..!!
4) Remember if you breakdown – and go home etc – please call me to say you did not finish. We had 3 boats last year – which – either they are still missing J– or were safely tucked up in bed that eve – without us knowing. We know the names of the missing boats – so – going forward, if you do not call in – and do not finish – the following year – you will not be allowed to race…. Sorry – but safety comes first…
5) Don’t forget to waterproof your phones etc for the race…. You may need them to call me!!
6) Do not litter out on the water…. We are supporting green causes – and the last thing we need are the crashboats picking up floating bottles from the race participants being inconsiderate. Think green – take cans – and recycle back on land….
7) For those that have said they are contributing gift certificates/prizes – please bring them along to the sign up.
Bumper stickers – I will be bringing some along with me to the sign up – if you want to buy some… 2 for $10 or 1 for $7…
Day of the Race:
1) Please collect your Heineken 6-pack (cans of course) from me – prior to the start of your class leave time. Any leftovers will be given as prizes..
2) Don’t forget to check in with me – to say that you are here – what time you leave – collect Heineken….. etc etc..
3) If you know that you are going to need to leave earlier than your scheduled start time to finish at a decent hour (aim for 4 – 5pm) – please again – let me know when you are expecting to leave. Please don’t assume that I see you leaving – cos I don’t!!!
4) Photos – please take lots of photos of the day – and share them with Mark of Australia – he is the one who has a newsletter and website – and he would love to share them with other round the world seagullians….. (buz_zook@hotmail.com)
5) FISH – we have 3 fishing prizes – so don’t forget to come and show me your catch after you finish. Frozen ones not accepted!!!
6) New trophies – we have a line honours trophy for all engine categories – we have “the Smeagol ugliest engine” trophy donated by Corry – who is also the judge… J ….so try not to win that one….

I am including the entry form – so that people can pre-complete the forms… and bring them along - $65 pp on the sign up day - $90 pp on race day…. Minimum 2 per boat…

Re: Round the Island Seagull Race - Bermuda 2012
Email update from RISR organisers - RECORD NUMBERS for 2012 - 64 boats..!!!!
Hi everyone
Well – I am absolutely amazed – a new record set - BEFORE the race…..
We have 64 boats signed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a record – certainly since I have been involved…. I don’t know where you found them all – but – pretty amazing.
The weather is sticking at ENE 10-15 knots – weather – mixed – cloudy – with rain and showers – but – it is better than the Friday and Sunday forecasts – and all the crashboats have said that they are very willing to go out and support everyone – so – it is a GO……….
I attach the listing that I put together – so if you see anything incorrect on your data – please let me know asap – because – once I leave the office on Friday – that is what is going on the list… J
Spanish Point Boat Club is opening early – 7 ish – so if you need a Bloody Mary to start the day – they will be there to serve it – they are also selling ice – so if you need some – they have some…
Trophies – we were missing a few - namely the Chummy Trophy (dinghy boat); Chummy Cup (best dressed) Burners Cup; and I think the Chrome pulley (I was looking at this late last night – so excuse me if I am wrong on that!!)
1) Please collect your Heineken 6-pack (cans of course) from me – prior to the start of your class leave time. Any leftovers will be given as prizes..

Remember if you breakdown – and go home etc – please call me to say you did not finish. We had 3 boats last year – which – either they are still missing J– or were safely tucked up in bed that eve – without us knowing. We know the names of the missing boats – so – going forward, if you do not call in – and do not finish – the following year – you will not be allowed to race…. Sorry – but safety comes first…

Some people have asked about buying old shirts – $20 each
I have the following:
XL – 2006 year – 4. (night trip)
Large – 2010 year – 4 (pirates)
2007 year – 1 (airplane)
2006 year – 11 (night)
Med - 2010 year – 2
2007 year – 4
2006 year – 2

Re: Round the Island Seagull Race - Bermuda 2012
Well – much to my disappointment not to clear my sitting room of all the boxes of seagull trophies/shirts etc!!!!! – due to the strong winds forecast for Saturday –– we are having to postpone the race to next Saturday – rather than do an alternate course – as the people polled – would prefer to have another chance to go round the island.
So – for those of you who were fine tuning stuff to race tomorrow – you have a week extra!!!
If anyone has any questions – please let me know
Thanks
Martine on behalf of the committee

Re: Round the Island Seagull Race - Bermuda 2012
(Latest word from the organiser)
Well the rain date has produced decent weather for racing!! AND – allowed a few more boats to register!!! 67…..!!!!!!!!!
So – we have 67 boats registered – up from our last record of 59. I hope to be able to report on Monday that everyone finished – but – we always have a few “Did not Start” or “Did not Finish” so….. we will see!!!
Here is a list of all the contestants and their classes – we weed through a few misclassifications from sign up – so if you see anything wrong – let me know before I leave work today…
We have 7 boats contending for the Harrison-Williams All girls trophy.
Danielle Lightbourn and Pansy Olander are our youngest crew – 18 and 17….!! Sorry James Anfossi and Sarah – you won it last year with the same ages – but you are now one year older!!!
JJ Soares and the longsuffering Bob are going to try and beat their own record of going around – 2 hours 7 mins….. to beat
Don’t forget the prize for the best dressed boat!!! Douglas Anfossi memorial cup……………
I have repeated myself stupid on safety equipment etc – so please remember all your stuff…
DON’T FORGET YOUR BAGGIE WITH THE CRASH BOAT NUMBERS AND YOUR BBQ TICKETS!!!!!
See you tomorrow – from 7.30am!!!

Re: Round the Island Seagull Race - Bermuda 2012
23 mph is fast.
An average speed of 23 mph is very fast.
Super tuned Seagull Sport (Selva), must be producing 8hp for that sort of speed, glad it lasted the 2hours well done.
