For “extra casual” covid Eld Inlet race. No awards or season points, just racing with friends.

Classes/start time: Two classes. Two start times.

  • Class 1 130 and faster. Start at or after 10:00:00 local GPS time.
  • Class 2 131 and slower. Start at or after 09:30:00 local GPS time.

No RC boat. No signals. No postponement. Be nice.

Course for both Classes:

  • Start/Finish is a line extending 600’ easterly from the Olympia Shoal dolphin. When the green #1 buoy and the dolphin line up, you’re on the line. Cross the line within 600 feet (0.10 nautical mile) of the dolphin.

Classes 1 and 2 Round mark boat near Flapjack Point to port. Full race 11.1 n.m. Half race 5.6 n.m.

NOTE: The mark boat will record “half way” times.

NOTE: Have a plan to accurately record your own finish time.
