Here's some info for those teams that do not have paddlers with memberships to FCRCC. The FCRCC Spring Regatta will be taking place at Dragon Zone, south side of Science World (or the Telus World of Science or whatever it's called now) on Saturday May 13, 2006 from 8 am to 3pm

Registration before April 21 is as follows...Mixed $200, Seniors/Juniors $150. After April 21 it will be... Mixed $300, Seniors/Juniors $200

Deadline for registration: May 5 or capacity (32 teams max.), whichever comes first. Apparently registration for FCRCC teams started on March 20th and registration for all other teams was on April 1st.  They say spaces fill up quickly and for you to get your registrations in early.

For more info you can visit their website at www.fcrcc.com or just post your question here. You can also contact the Race Director Pat Pawlett at [email protected].

Now that we know who is racing, anyone have any predictions?  Will the Subaru dog make a comeback (or is that DWW dog now)?  Interesting Pac Reach and other comp teams are skipping this, wonder why?  Is Dragonhearts becoming another Synergy, 4 teams entered in this event?

For me, the order will be:

1. FCRCC Mixed (fastest time in White Rock)
2. Roli (gearing for club crew so who knows)
3. DWW #1 (as long as the dog stays away)
4. Swordfish or Dragonhearts Team Ulitmate (haven't seen either this year but Dragonhearts had the 3rd fastest time in the shortened White Rock event from what I heard, Swordfish has been in OCs so that should help)

All guesses cause I haven't seen any of the teams yet but have heard stories

[Colossus]

dragonhearts has different "levels". not sure if that puts them in with synergy or not though.   
going to be a tough call through the semis and finals...  it looks as though anyone placing 2nd in their first heat wont' have a shot at the Div A finals or consolation though?

[Garbage Miles]

Time to venture out of my garbage can again.  Assuming the regatta does not get cancelled due to poor water conditions, here are my predictions.

1) FCRCC Mixed
2) DWW #1
3) Ultimate
4) Roli Masters

I keep hearing that Ultimate is very strong, so they'll be my pick to take 3rd ahead of Roli.  Any idea what boats will be used?  6-16's?  BUK?  Modified Geminis?

There's a key outrigger race in Penticton that conflicts with this year's FCRCC regatta. I wonder if FCRCC's big guns are going to be out of town this weekend...

[Secret Weapon]

'Who knows? FODB may upset FCRCC in the first ..." mmm don't think so Sinkingboat.  Unless none of the A or B boat guys show up I'm thinking it's a long shot anyone one will beat FCRCC.  In fact I predict FCRCC to win every festival they enter this year.  Ms Kamini is gearing up for TO and she's got some amazing paddlers on her roster.  And no, these aren't your everyday dragonboaters. As for the rest of the placings my pics are:

1.  FCRCC
2.  Roli
3.  DWW (glad they brought that name back!)
4.  Who knows, can't wait to see who's been training

[Colossus]

i think JDA is going to pull and upset and come 2nd.     

[Rossifumi]

i think JDA is going to pull and upset and come 2nd.     

wouldn't that be a story.. i'm feeling religious all of a sudden

Ultimate is on the pace this year so I expect to see them do very well

[adbf]

I watched most of the finals, nice that it was running ahead, too ahead since I missed the team I was suppose to watch.  They did not seem to want to slow down the races any.  Interesting choice to switch the Geminis and 6/16s for the championship races.  I talked with some DZ paddlers and they were not sure why that decision was done (something about the 6/16s used were not all created equal).  With that said, the order of finish was:

Div A Championship - first 2 boats were clearly ahead
FCRCC Mixed
DWW #1
Roli Masters
Dragonhearts Team Ultimate

Div A Consolation - very good race, boats were close for the most part all the way down the course.
Swordfish
Eye of the Dragon
Phat Phish
Concord Pacific

[Colossus]

BEAUTIFUL day for racing...  even from the sidelines, i enjoyed today.

[Lethal Weapon]

Pics coming later tonight
too busy with the crazy a$$ pace of the marshalling (curse you Kerry! but good job) to get on the coach boat for many shots but got a few

[adbf]

Great LW love to see them.

I looked at the predictions and it looks like sinkingboat SANK, Garbage Miles must have been putting some miles on the creek as they picked the top 4, Tiger had the top 4 down jus could not nail the placing, and Colossus crashed and burned with his JDA prediction. 

The ADBF Regatta is next for these teams, right?  I'll have to make a special trip for that .

Great racing everyone.
