Pursuit Challenge – Nov 16

The last Pursuit Challenge continues! Join us for this fun one-lap trip around the lake.

The Captains meeting is at 12 pm, with the plan of starting the first boat around 12:30.

We plan to start the slower boats first and followed by the faster boats later. Each boat will get an individual start time to push off from our dock. We plan to do a large triangular course around the lake. Our course around the lake should be without a lot of or any tacking and will finish in front of our boat club. This should be a great sail for our larger Sailboats, but all are welcome to attend. We will have our customary pot-luck after the finish, so come and join us on Saturday, November 16.

Please let Philippe (pbl@ideos.com) know if you plan to participate in the Pursuit Challenge on Nov 16.
