No RC, No protests, No Luffing, NO STRESS and best of all FREE
12 miles, fixed mark. Pursuit style racing which means the slower boats start first.
Rest assured, the fast boats will be trying their best to catch you before the finish.
It's the best way to beat the heat, introduce friends to sailing and enjoy an evening on the water.
We typically get 50-60 boats a night, maybe more if this years Icicle series is any indication.
Awards at the GBCA Clubhouse after the racing...oh, and don't forget...you must share your winnings 8)
