Final Schedule Check to be sure you have been registered in correct event when posted Wednesday evening March 16th, 2011.
Early check in on Saturday, March 19 from 5-7PM @ the boat house (Highly Recommended).
* Traffic pattern for the 2000m races:
After launching from the beach, go up the course and head right at the channel towards the low bridge. For boats launching from the boathouse, head straight across towards the low bridge. NO PASSING under the two bridges.
The start is at Los Alamitos Yacht club and crews may continue to warm up in the channel behind the start. The starting area is not clearly marked, so please be sure not to venture into the starting area itself until it’s time for your race. It will take approximately 20-30 minutes to go under the bridges, around the island, and to the starting area so please plan your warm up accordingly.
* Heel ties and bow balls will be checked the morning of the race on the boathouse side for crews launching from the boathouse and on the beachside. Control commission members will be approaching boats to complete
the check.
Registration (ALL forms must be filled out for valid entry):
