SL-rentals.com third sailing regatta

The third Sailing Regatta in the SL Rentals sponsored series begins at 4PM on Saturday 17th 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.

In the interests of widening participation in sailing the SL-rentals.com regattas will be changing to a minimal rules set for its remaining races:

No rerezzing
No editing up course (lag groundings can be edited back to the start of the leg, sim border etc.)
No editing other people's boats
Give searoom - you can't force a boat into a barrier (immovable object, sim border etc.). If they turn when they MUST to avoid the barrier if there is contact you have fouled them. If there are barriers on both sides then a 'knock for knock' policy will apply - no fault found.
If you start early recross and start again after the race has started.
