Starts on April 18, 2014 and finishes on April 20, 2014. Hank has enter us in the short race circuit, as my handicap rating is too high to enter the medium or long course. We did this course last year... took just under 24 hours.
Short Course
(Distance approximately 53NM)Start Line Dundarave Pier (West Vancouver),
to Entrance Island (leave to Port),
to Halibut Bank (leave to Starboard),
to Point Atkinson (Finish)
We will have a seasoned sailing crew:
Al Rothenbush, Vernon Pahl, Graham ? and Hank as my skipper.
All crew have sailing vessels of their own, who have sailed in all sorts of weather... the good, bad and ugly... so I feel confident I will be in good hands. :)
Right now, I am still in my winter attire, so Hank will have to reinstall my sailing gear. In addition, Hank as lot of other preparations to do... getting me race ready...
Check list:
- Get my certification of insurance (this year we are using "Navis insurance company")
- Get my 2014 PHRF BC handicap certification.
- Need a completed crew list prior to April 17, 2014
- Re-install all my safety gear and check all expiry dates, i.e. flares, fire extinguishers, etc.
- Hank to arrange for my haul-out to clean my bottom... hopefully with a repaint as well.
- Safety orientation and practice drills
- Shake down cruise.
