The Twenty Hundred Club Around Aquidneck Island Challenge is run annually whenever we want, as many times as we want. This is based on PHRF corrected time and allows a spinnaker and non-spinnaker run.
Boats may start by any of the designated marks and need to finish there. The challenge excludes time through the Tiverton basin. A log is kept to record the time when certain marks of the course are passed.
Based on the crew and weather, we’ll make a determination on whether we race spinnaker or non-spinnaker. Expected elapsed time is about 5 hours.

A fun evening sharing a table with Eric, Mary, Chris, Maggie, Francis, Lisa, Bill & Cindy.

Thank you for a great time. That hour penelty seems steep. If you look at yellow brick there were a few other boats in our class that were just inside that south east dot. Not sure how picky they were being.
Either way great work by everyone. Enjoy the party.
Bill went to the protest hearing about our sailing in the exclusion zone to fix the spinnaker. The results of the protest was the RC added 1 hour to our corrected time. This put us in 2nd place for the youth entries. We would have had 1st in youth if not for this. Hope to see you all at the awards ceremony!
Updated boat call time is 10am this morning. Those needing ride on base meet 0945 pass & ID parking lot.
