Tequila Race Course Master
Pursuit Starts
Suggestion For Skippers: Monitor VHF #72 For races with no formal race committee, if you enter the LAT/LON for each mark the start/finish line and rounding marks will be clearly defined on your chart plotter which will make it easier and more fun for everyone. Take pictures of your chart plotter (with time and location) for the start, each mark rounding and finish so the race committee can see you rounded properly if there is a challenge.
Send all plotter pictures to Kathleen Cahill @612-720-3594 or kpcahill@me.com
Race course tracking and analysis provided by Navionics. The race captain and all competitors can monitor virtual mark roundings with a 5 minute delay. (Still in time for penalty turn)
