Sunday pre-race Skipper's and Crew meeting
​
Sunday race morning at 10:15 at the Gibsons Marina.
​
Shot gun starts and pursuit races.
Boats report their GPS finishing time by radio channel 73 and the Race Committee later determines the results after calculating the adjusted time for each boat using its PHRF rating, or, if it is a pursuit race, the finish order is the race result.
The details of all this are to be found in our Official Notice Board.
