The Details…
The Twenty Hundred Club Fall Race Around Prudence Island (counterclockwise) starts and finishes by Pine Hill Point – which is about 8 nm from our slip. We'll depart as soon as everyone is on the boat. I will have the boat rigged and ready to go. We will discuss crew positions on the way there and once in the race area will do some practice tacks, spinnaker sets, gybes and douses. The warning signal is at 1000 for other classes with our start warning at 1015.
Food & Drink: I will bring sandwiches for all. I have chips and granola bars for snacks. I also have gallon water jugs to fill your water bottles. Reminder – bring your own water bottle!
Plan on being at the boat – Navy Marina slip A49 at 8:05am Saturday. I expect we'll be back at the dock by 5:30pm.
Be at Navy Marina Slip A49 - Sat September 22nd @ 8:05AM EDT
