Bermudan Mondays
A second weeknight race but in a more casual style. All the races will be pursuit style with a Bermudan start and fixed courses. White sails only and a breakwater start and finish. Mondays from June to August (see schedule below). No registration, just check in before the race on VHF channel 72, and it’s free!
Before 6:30pm, the course for the evening will be announced on the VHF. Find the course in the Mondays Courses and Start Times document below and it will tell you the course to be sailed and your start time based on the handicap of your boat. Don’t forget to use your non-spinnaker handicap to find your start time! Cross the start line at or after your start time, sail the course and arrive back with everyone else for the grand finish!
