Winter Series FAQ
Is there a Prize-giving after racing?
There sure is! After all fully crewed races upstairs at the Mount Ocean Sports Club, usually starts an hour after the last boat home or 5:30 whichever comes first. Two handed races will be allocated prizes at the following fully crewed prize giving.
What's a Mark Foy start?
A system where each boat has it's own start time, so the boats are handicapped at the start, the handicappers goal is to get all boats at the finish at the same time this can prove difficult at times due to differing race durations but makes for safe, exciting and fun racing for all boats no matter how big or small.
How do I sign on?
You sign on prior to the first start via VHF channel 77, stating your boat name and number of crew aboard, please avoid radio traffic when boats are starting.
How do I get a start time?
If you race on the opening race of each series start times will be posted on the website here, usually by the Thursday preceding the Race. If you have not raced in the current season you can contact us for a time or you can request a start time from the race officer.
How do I enter?
