This is a pursuit race around Waupoos Island, starting from Waupoos Marina, with a staggered start. The boat with the highest handicap number starts first while the boat with the lowest handicap number starts last. The scratch boat starts at the lowering of the Start Flag (time 0) while all the other boats start with a time delay proportional to the difference in their PHRF handicap from the first or scratch boat. The time delay is measured from the lowering of the Start Flag. 

There will be one start with no attempt for a windward start.

This race is open to interested parties whether you have a current PHRF certificate or not. The race organizers will assign a PHRF handicap to those who do not already have one based on the type of boat.

Skippers meeting will be at 11:30 a.m. with the start of the race at 1:00 p.m.  Please provide the requested information on the attached sign-up sheet by 9:30 to allow the organizers sufficient time to calculate the time differentials. 

There will be a “bring your own barbecue” at the marina Saturday evening starting at 6:00 p.m. followed by the Trophy presentation.
