COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Competitors will start on the shoreline at Harry Berry Park in Hollywood. At the start they will proceed to a buoy approximately one mile offshore (buoy #1) where they will turn left around the buoy and head northwest. After two miles they will find a buoy approximately 100 yards offshore (buoy #2). Competitors will then turn left around this buoy and head south toward the start where they will encounter a buoy approximately 100 yards from shore (buoy #3). Competitors participating in the 8 mile race will turn left at this buoy and head east to buoy #1 for their second lap.  12 mile competitors will complete three laps.  The position of buoy #1 will be optimized for downwind paddling and finalized prior to race start at a meeting of last years category winners and the chief of beach safety.
