In the event of an area not being able to field a full team of six, the race officers may allow one or more team members to race twice. There will be a short, simple triangular course and each race will be approximately 20 minutes. Competitors with their own boats will be able to race in all races – or 2 competitors may share ‘their’ boat. 0830 hours Boats ready for unloading and rigging0900 Registration 0930 Briefing for all competitors 0950 Competitors afloat 1000 Start of first race 1025 approx Start of second race 1050 approx New helms afloat 1100 approx Start of 3rd race 1125 approx Start of 4th race 1155 approx Parents afloat Children ashore, and changing for lunch 1200 approx Start of parents race (20 mins) Lunch available from around 1200 1300 All boats ashore, lunch and prizegiving Any general queries to Tony Rowe, RYA SE Chairman – 07738 754613 Tony Rix RYA-SE PRO |
