Just For Fun Cruising Race
One of the days when the "Real" racers are out doing their thing,
there will be a "Fun Race For Cruisers". Details are yet to be defined,
but the overall philosophy of the race will be "If you care who wins, you
should not enter.".
It will be a persuit race with each boat given a different starting time,
so there will be no stress at the starting line. Cruisers will record their own
finsih times at the destination. VHF Channel 72 will be the official race
channel.
You will need to fill out the race "Rating Application", but don't get
bogged down in the details. If you don't know a piece of information, just
guess or leave it blank.
We will race from Buzzards Bay just outside of Wareham
to some near by destination where we will eat
lunch (you will have to pack your own food), swim, socialize, and play.
Finally, we'll head back to base for the official evening events.
The race will take place on Wednesday August 6th unless the weather
conditions are not good for a fun race. The alternate race date will be
Thursday August 7th.
There will be a number of official trophies for this event.
Likely trophies:
First, Second, Third and Forth place finishers.
Farthest distance trailered to get to event.
Farthest distance sailed to get to event.
Additional trophies will be awarded based on turnout and circumstances.
Trophies will only be awarded to boats that finish the race within
(the very liberal) time limit.
