The Regatta 2008 Course
The start will be approximately 300 meters south of Tiglia Island.
The west side (Lefkas Island) shall be marked by "Patsy Jean" flying a large chequered flag. The east side (Meganissi Island) will be marked by a large yacht also flying a large black and white chequered flag.
After your start, head south down the Meganissi Channel. Try to avoid bumping into anything or anyone; then leave leave Arkoudi Island to your starboard side. Shape a course to the north and finish at the entrance to Sivota Bay.
The finish shall be at the entrance to Sivota Bay between two large yellow marks. You must pass between the Marks to receive a finishing time.
Please be aware that it is exceedingly difficult for the timing boat to identify each boat, all of your help is welcome. however, do not use VHF Channel 8 to call the committee boat as it is the safety channel for the fleet.
If you wish to say thank you to the committee, please do so ashore at the end of the race.
Thank you. |
