Attention Skippers:
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Today’s race will be on course ‘M’ - also known as
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
the Skipper’s Course. The course is comprised of three
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
markers forming a triangle. The race will start with a
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Windward leg from the half way point between the Windward
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
and Leeward markers. Once around the Windward mark, boats
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
will turn left towards the Jibe mark. After rounding the Jibe
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
mark, boats will continue to the Leeward mark, rounding it
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
and heading upwind towards the finish line.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
As this is a beginners course, we have marked the
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
boundaries of the course yellow ropes. While a skipper may
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
plot any course for the race, the lines are there to assist new
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
skippers.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Conditions:
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Winds today have been blowing from 8 to 20 knots from
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
the north, we expect a possible wind shift of 25┬░
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
to the east or west during the race.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Good Luck!
