Boats should be rigged, ready to sail, and either beached or anchoredjust off the club beach at 11:45 AM.
Picnic: 2-4 PM organized by the Open / Cruising Fleet (Burgers, Hot Dogs, and Potluck)
Open to all HSC members with or without boats. New members especially encouraged to attend this fun event.
Open to all classes of sailboats – but bring your “big boat” andload up with new club members as crew. Our plan is not to leave anyone on the beach, although some may be drafted on Race Committee.
RC Chairman: Gordon Sell. The Race Committee needs 6 volunteers.(Please do not volunteer for RC if you have a big boat that can sail with extra crew in the event!) Contact Gordon Sell (cruisingfc@sailhsc.org).
Le Mans Start: All boats will start beached or anchored near the HSC Clubhouse. At the start signal, participants will run to their boats and sail to various points around the reservoir and perform various challenges over a two-hour period.
Scoring: Whimsical. Awards: Yes!
Contestants will note various clues on their score sheets as they circuit the lake. They will also be scored for each of challenges: backwards sailing, man-over-board drills, basketball toss, and anything else the RC can think-up! After finishing, contestants will earn playing cards based on their scores. The more cards you collect, the better chance you have of earning a good five-card poker hand.
Single-handed boats… Sunfish, Force 5, etc. can earn an extra card if they carry a passenger.
Picnic: HSC will provide hot dogs and hamburgers. Everything else is potluck.
Suggestion: bring 3-4 times the amount needed for your family / group.
Last names A – F: Bring soda, juice, water (no glass containers per park rules)
Last names G – N: Bring a side dish, pasta, salad, etc.
Last names O – Z: Bring a dessert
