Not having the circumnavigation course was welcomed by the racers as they knew it would take them less than three hours to complete the long race, compared to at least double that if they were to do a full RTV. Round Taa Regatta 42
T he Taal Lake Yacht Club’s signature event is the Round Taal Volcano Regatta. Nowhere else in the world can you circumnavigate a volcano in a freshwater lake in a sailboat race. The RTV is an event small boat sailors anticipate and have been blocked off on their calendars. The RTV happens every third weekend of November, a weekend known for fresh Amihan breezes blowing between 12 and 20 knots. Veteran TLYC sailors term heavy breezes in this range as RTV weather. The weather forecast for 19 November was pretty much RTV weather, there was even a chance that the regatta might be postponed because of a weather system that was developing, that system fizzled out and the forecast for the weekend was 14 to 25 knots. Still well within the range that the home buildable Oz Goose sailing dinghy can handle. For this year’s RTV it was decided by race management to split the two active fleets of the club, The Oz Goose fleet and the Hobie 16 fleet, and the Goose racing fleet was to be divided further between racers and cruisers. The split was done for safety purposes, the speed disparity between Hobies and Geese is so significant that monitoring the whole fleet will place a huge burden on the safety crew. The Cruiser class is for sailors who have less experience in racing but are interested in participating in a well-known regatta like the RTV. The cruiser course is closer to shore where the wind and waves can be less troublesome. The Goose part of the RTV was to happen on 19 November and the Hobie 16 RTV was to happen the following Sunday, the 26th. As usual, the Governor’s cup is the long race at the RTV regatta, in-shore races are included in the RTV series to determine the regatta champion. A total of 12 skippers participated in this year’s RTV regatta Goose class, four of whom were doing it for the first time. With the weather being on the high side of a fresh breeze, race management decided to forego the volcano circumnavigation course and went with an around Bubuin island course instead, while a cruising course was set up for cruisers in the fleet. Not having the circumnavigation course was welcomed by the racers as they knew it would take them less than three hours to complete the long race, compared to at least double that if they were to do a full RTV.
