Notice of Race

Pursuit Challenge Sunday July 15th noon

Enough basking in the sun already, how about spending a breezy Sunday afternoon pursuing sailboats slower than yours up and down Baynes Channel? Well hopefully not in Baynes Channel.

All CBSA members are invited to participate in the most popular, least competitive Caddy Bay regatta of the season, the Pursuit Challenge, on Sunday July 15th.

Skippers meeting will be at high noon, with the MAIN EVENT starting at 1pm.

In the Pursuit Challenge, the slowest rated boats start first, followed by the other boats in order of Portsmouth D-PN ratings, at varying time delays based on an ancient formula that only the Fleet Captain knows. You new members should know that the Fleet Captain can easily be bought for a pint of Race Rocks, or...heck just a sip of yours would probably do it!

So if you think your boat is too small or too slow, think again, this is your big chance for glory!  What, you don't believe me?  Listen, in the last few years this race has been won by a Laser, an Enterprise and a Megabyte which narrowly beat out a Weta. It's anybody's game. The Pursuit Challenge is designed to be two hours long with the course stretching to Oak Bay if possible which makes it a lovely trip regardless of your racing knowledge.

Stop by Smugglers on your way home for a refreshment.   A perfect ending to a perfect day!

Keep the pointy side up,

Fleet Captain
