The Vickie Cup is CLSA’s end-of-year championship, and this year we will have buoy races on Saturday and a distance race on Sunday. The CLSA calendar has been updated with this information.
Oct. 16: CLSA Vickie Cup Buoy Race
- All boat types welcome
- Noon competitors’ meeting
- 1 p.m. first race start sequence
- 3:30 p.m. last race
- Different boat classes will compete against each other using the Portsmouth rating system, which provides a handicap factor for each boat type depending on its typical speed under the conditions of the race.
- We will aim for two or three consecutive 50-minute races on a windward-leeward course.
Boats will be divided into two starting groups:
1) Flying Scots and other boats with a Portsmouth rating greater than or equal to that of the Flying Scot
2) 5 minutes after the first start, Thistles and other boats with a Portsmouth rating less than that of the Flying Scot
