Joshua Slocum Single-handed Race

It's OK, you don't have to sail single-handed around the world, just around a course near Rock Canyon Marina


10:55 AM 1st warning

We may use the normal race course markers for these races and one of the longer, more complicated courses.  Take a look at the course options beforehand to see how they work, course letter flag determines course, number flag determine 1 mark, others determined by course pattern shown on maps (click here for maps)

Russ and Maria Jellison will be on CB duty and depending on conditions will try to pick a course for a 2-3  hour race.  Come join in these two, always fun, races!
