Jamestown Double Beaver 2016
July 30 @ Conanicut Yacht Club, Jamestown, RI, United States
GENERAL INFO
The Jamestown Double Beaver race will be held on July 30, 2016. Hosted by Tim Dwyer and his family, this 10 to 13 mile race on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay is a true open-water event, with rough ocean conditions likely. Although primarily for surfskis, outrigger canoes are also welcome to participate.
There is a $30 registration fee for this race to cover lunch and other costs. You must register by July 25th (the Monday before the race) - there is no race day registration. No formal awards will be given (although winners may be required to wear silly costumes), but this race is part of both the SurfskiRacing.com and New England Surfski point series. A post-race lunch will be provided.
Epic Kayaks has been a long-time sponsor of the Double Beaver and has generously donated door prizes in the past (a paddle and gift certificates). We hope that Epic will continue their support.
