Due to another club shifting their Principal Day we have a spare day to hold an event of our own. This is a self regulated event and will go ahead weather permitting.

There are no entries or fees required. There will be no briefing, start flags or hooter. No prizes or cups and no BBQ afterwards, just purely for the fun of sailing with other yachts. All yachts welcome.
The Start / Finish line is between Green Pile ‘T’ (Three Legs, now Two Legs, as one has disappeared) and Red Channel marker 68. This will be a self starting event based on your smart phone time of 0930 hrs. We will be watching however so don’t push the line. (Anyone over the line needs to do a 360deg penalty turn before the next rounding mark).  Next, proceed southward towards the end of the Birch Street wharf with a Port rounding of Red Channel marker 76. Then head towards the Causeway Bridge with a Port rounding of the Yellow 5 knot buoy. Head back to Green Pile ‘T’ (Three Legs) for a Port rounding and repeat the course for a second lap before finishing with a final port rounding of Pile ‘T’ (Three Legs) and through the Start / Finish line.
If the weather is doubtful consult our OYC Facebook page . It will be updated by 0800 hrs on the morning to confirm whether things are on or off.
