New marks are here!!  CCV and Hampton Yacht Club have shared resources in order to provide new race marks for a number of their events in the Hampton Roads area.   Obviously, race equipment does not come cheap and the replacements marks have been needed for some time.  They will see action throughout the coming season.  Racers, of course, should do their best not to hit them - for lots of reasons!

MURPHY'S LAW:   Speaking of race marks...  Yrs Truly, the Racing Beagle, is well aware of just how tough a race mark has to be, having had close encounters with marks a number of times.  The personal history of a race mark often includes bumping, dragging, deflating, puncturing, mildew, and hanging for extended periods in hot sun and extreme temperatures!  Physical wear and tear does take its toll.   Marks endure even more verbal abuse, but they don't seem to let that bother them!   /S/  Murphy the Racing Beagle, the sailing spirit in us all.
