What's the deal with the twin tip race? Is there a course? Is there a chicks division?

Yes go to KBV facebook page prob the best.

Yes checks n guys all in the one race.
We could hv girls act if we get a few in the event
teh race is essentially a reach out n back , no painful tacking up wind.

Easy

The start boat will be flying several flags, but the one to watch for is the class flag that signals your start. The red white blue one.


Class flag goes up at 3 minutes before start
Blue one with square goes up 2 minutes before start
Blue one with square comes down 1 minute before start
Class flag comes down to signal start.

You usually get horn or gun at each flag change.

Or it you can take it easy and watch the guns off the line first to have a less stressful start!
