Course subject to change depending on conditions, number of participants and many other factors.  DO NOT HIT ANY MOORED BOATS.

Reach out with any questions on the course. Course will be reviewed in detail at racers meeting. 

Note on Conditions: Even though we are racing in the harbor there can still be sizable chop depending on the wind direction.  If it is "windy" (above 10-15 knots) from the N, NE, E, SE, or S expect lumpier conditions inside the harbor.  Reach out with questions.

Note: Racers must stay in the designated harbor channels and not go in between moored boats.  It is not a straight line between mark A, south end of the dock,  mark B and mark C. When you are paddling south you need to wrap around the moored boats and keep all moored boats to your left.  When you are paddling north you need wrap around moored boats and keep all moored boats to your right.
