SL Rentals Sailing Series – Second Regatta

The second Sailing Regatta in the SL Rentals sponsored series begins at 4PM on Saturday 10th of September at Tompson – come early to try out the course and have a few pre-race practice runs.

The series consists of six three race regattas for the Flying Tako wind powered sail-boat with the following prizes:

1st overall L$500
2nd overall L$200
3rd overall L$100

In addition there will be a L$1000 prize for the best overall score in the six regatta series.

Races are run under the current SLSF rules (notecards available).

There is an extensive interactive display intended to clarify rules such as Right Of Way (ROW) beside the start/finish line at Tompson. Plenty of friendly advice available from some of Second Lifes leading sailors.

We will also be holding practice and beginners sessions on Wednesdays and you can pick up a touring or competition version at the sales dock for a nominal L$1.
Please note: the races are only open to the competition version.

Assemble to start around Tompson 200,200, or to watch at Tompson 125, 160

Yesterday's regatta was a little broken up thanks to 3 or 4 disconnections and a phone call (when will Mark learn to take his phone off the hook?) but was still a roaring success and enjoyed by all.
