??? which part of 15 mins one way + 15 mins the other way would make a 1 hour race

The format previously was figure-8 race with two buoys a few hundred meters apart. One buoy will most likely be quite close to shore (good spectator sport). Race starts about 3pm at/near Elwood YC.

- Make sure you pay for a parking ticket or you may end up with a fine.
- Last year about 40 sailors started the race, with about half dropping out by 45min mark due to exhaustion.
- Lots of gybing/falling due to the short distance between the buoys.
- Due to the number of sailors in a small space, it is possible that collisions may occur...

This is Oz... we counter sarcasm with more sarcam...!!!

Hope this year the buoys are further apart, I worked out last year I gybed over 90 times in this race, I was totally buggered afterwards.

Anything to keep the number of gybes swims to a minimum
