About The Event
Calling all Jacomo sailors, join us for our Fall Classic Regatta! All keelboats and sailors of all caliber are welcome. RSVP today and include your vessel information (make, model, length, keel type, etc).
Fall Classic will be a BEER CAN RACE. https://www.latitude38.com/misc/10Command-opt.pdfÂ
General race info:
- Skipper's meeting at sailboat cove shelter at 10am
- Race start for first boat 12pm
- Staggered start based on PHRF handicap
- Placement for winners is based on order you cross the finish gate since handicap is built into start
Beer can races are informal, honor-system driven, and FUN. Submit your vessel details to me prior to the race. Email, text, verbal, whatever's easiest. Prior to race we'll provide you with an exact start time. Slowest boat gets to start at 12pm sharp, remaining boats stagger from that point with fastest starting last. Use a timepiece with seconds and try to cross the gate at or after your start time. In addition, we will sound a horn at race start so alternatively you can use a stopwatch to count up to your start time (So if you have a 4 minute handicap, then start stopwatch at horn and cross when it hits 4 minutes).
Course:
- We will drop two markers straight out from sailboat cove. This will be the start/finish gate.
- Racers will cross the gate at their designated time, headed toward the dam
- Depending on conditions, windward mark(s) will be a buoy or natural landmark. Details shared at skipper meeting DOR
- Sail back toward sailboat cove and cross the gate.
- Number of laps determined DOR based on sailing conditions
Post-race:
Since winners are determined immediately without the delay of PHRF calculations, placements can be announced same day, right after the race at the sailboat cove shelter. So return to the dock after you finish and join in on the celebrations. Post-race party time is soft start so whenever the last racer shows up.Â
