Festive Racing This Saturday

This Saturday we have our famous once-a-year Tyrell and Rousso races, which are super fun formats. The Tyrell is a handicapped chase, with the slowest boat starting first and successive faster boats hunting each other down as they start over the next 5-10 minutes per their handicaps. The format makes for what is perhaps the most competitive and exciting race of the season!  The Rousso is a scratch race with a massed start, in which all boats in all classes start together – a yardstick is applied to the winner in each of the classes to determine the overall winner.  

By tradition, everyone wears a Santa hat – however they have gone missing. Does anyone know where at the clubhouse the Santa hats have been stored? They were last seen in a plastic bag hanging in the bathroom. If you do know please let Commodore Cox know HERE.

We will hand the hats out on the day and hopefully have a few spare on the Jazzman for those sailing from other clubs! Handicaps and detailed instructions will be available at the briefing (and on the Jazzman for those sailing from other clubs).

Check out the video below of Dene Bergman explaining the history of the Tyrell and Rousso races.
