Bring your rain gear (but you probably won’t need it), a PFD and your RC Laser and join us Sunday, August 28, 2011 for a 2.5 mile race across Canandaigua Lake to a cookout held at Neil and Maggie Atkins house in Deep Run Cove. This race will count as one Fall Low Point Series race in Week 2 of the series so there will only be one “regular” race that day.
Weather forecasters at the moment are saying that we have a 61% chance of not seeing any rain but they are calling for steady winds of 18+ knots from the North with gusts much higher! Bring your “C” sails! (“D” sails if you’ve got ’em!) Thanks to Hurricane Irene, it’s shaping up to be perfect weather to run under sail SSE across the lake!
Nelson Habecker and Bill Blevins are going out early to check the sea state and set a finish line. Then we’ll all gathered at the concrete dock at the Canandaigua Yacht Club at 1 p.m. and figure out the chase boat situation and who is going in which boat and who is driving around. After that we’ll get on the water and prepare for an on the water start at about 1:30 p.m.
If the weather is just too rough, we’ll drive around the lake and park in the lot for Deep Run Cove park since most likely no one will be there swimming.
We’ll attempt running multiple races for the Women’s Series from the docks across the lake.
Don’t miss it! This is going to be a fun one!
