The predicted stronger winds from later in the day came early, from the Southwest, so race was called on 78a as some boats were already making their way out to the race course.
Spinnaker boats and jib and main (JAM) boats gather on the Neuse River off of Oriental, NC, generally north east of SC1. The course is marked with ODC inflatable marks. Spinnaker and JAM fleets will have separate starts.
All boats should check in with the race committee boat.
The first warning signal will be at 13:00 for the spinnaker fleet, with the JAM fleet starting shortly thereafter. JAM fleet should stay clear of the starting line until after the spinnaker fleet starts.
We will run up to 4 races each day of racing.
Please let us know who is coming by signing up here (make sure you fill in the tab for the days you are racing) so we know who to expect. Pass this along to other sailors so we can have a nice turnout.
