Wednesday Night Races
Over the years Wednesday night races have become the most popular races
at PPYC. Wednesday night races are FUN RACES that use the pursuit
format (staggered starts based on handicap ratings).
For 2007, Wednesday night races will be held every Wednesday
starting April 2, 2008. Racing will continue until
September 24, 2008. Races
start at the no wake markers at the mouth of the Hamilton Creek
Sailboat Marina cove. The warning horn
(3 short blasts) is at 6:00 p.m. (approximately).

Important Notice
Each boat is responsible for recording
its own finishing position. There will be a
score sheet posted on the
deck at HCM. Record (1) your finishing position (owner/skipper's name),
(2) boat type, (3) the boat that finished directly in front of you and (4)
the boat that finished directly behind you (you must complete all of
these items to be recorded as having finished). Failure
to record or report your finishing position may result in your boat not
being listed in the results. |
Monthly Wednesday Night Cookouts There will be a monthly
cookout on the 1st Wednesday of each month. Each person will be
charged $3.00 (except for the first
cookout which is
free). Portsmouth Rating Required
NOTE: Every boat that races in a Wednesday
night race, must have a valid Portsmouth rating. To learn how to
obtain a Portsmouth rating, go to the PPYC
Portsmouth page. For questions about handicaps and
starting times,
contact the PPYC Race Director.
