|
If you’ve complained that it took more time to prepare your boat than sail in the race, we’ve thought up something you might like to try.
|
In our non aggregate weekend spinnaker races, we’ve amended our Summer NOR, and SI’s so you can elect to compete in an additional race immediately upon crossing the finishing line.
