About this event
Kenosha Yacht Club Racing Committee is inviting all Southport Marina Sailors to
participate on Saturday July 5th in an “Around the Race Buoys” regatta for fun and
to introduce all sailors to the racing experience in a friendly low pressure
environment.
THE DETAILS:
1. An orientation/”chalk talk” in the lounge above A dock on Saturday June 21,
2024 at 09:15 a.m., to familiarize interested sailors on how a race is generally
structured and how this regatta will be run. Also, we will try to pair up interested
sailors with KYC sailors to either sail with or coach them through the regatta;
2. On July 5th, an open start at the center buoy between 12 noon and 12:15 in
order to minimize congestion and skipper pressure and racing the circumference of
the buoys back to the starting line, Center buoy to S to E to NE to NW and back to
Center. Link to KYC Race Course: https://images.clubexpress.com/735990/graphics/KYC Bouys 240829788.jpg
Everyone will mark their own course time. Depending on wind speed and direction,
the course will take around 60 to 90 minutes (plus or minus) to complete; and,
3. At 14:30 (2:30 p.m.) the Kenosha Yacht Club Racing Committee and the KYC
Foundation will host a Twisted Cuisine prepared cook- out & beer for all participants.
Docking at KYC will be provided.
If you have ever had any interest in sail racing and learning about what’s
involved, this will be your chance to learn in an easy non-competitive environment.
