Saturday 1st October, 4pm. In Tompson, starting around (200,200) and with a platform for spectators to come and watch the start and finish and some other critical parts of the race to hand as well.
First prize $500
Second prize $200
Third prize $100
Minimal rules - come and enjoy sailing.
If you've never sailed before please come along a bit early for some practise time before the race. Takos aren't hard to sail, but do take a little bit of learning - the benefit of sailing with the wind just like a real yacht.
This is the fifth of six regattas, with a $1,000 prize to the overall winner. It's probably to late to enter and win that prize, but weekly prizes are still up for grabs for all comers!

Congratulations to Doc on winning her first race in a regatta. As an inspiration to all beginners Doc started racing just over 4 weeks ago, this was her fourth regatta at Tompson and she placed 3rd overall and won one race.
If you're interested in such things you might notice from the spread of results that there was a lot more variation in the times for these race - reflecting the more variable winds that we sailed in. To highlight this Doc's time to finish fourth in race 3 was over 20s faster than her time to win race 2, and the top 4 finishers have differences of 1-2 minutes in their finish times between the races. To contrast that with regatta 3 (I happen to have the results to hand) the top four finishers (by time) had spreads of under 1 minute - some of which was doubtless caused by the penalties taken by two of the four.
