LAKE MONROE SAILING ASSOCIATION

This week @ LMSA!



Wednesday Night Rum Racing!



LMSA will host their Wednesday Night Rum Race sponsored by Malibu Red on June20th. All Sailors, members and nonmembers of LMSA are invited to participate in the LMSA Wednesday Night Rum Race. What else is there to do on a Wednesday Night besides sailing. Come out and meet new people and have a few laughs, we guarantee that you will come back again.


Rules are simple:
a.) Show up on Marina Isle between 5pm and 6pm on a Wednesday Night.
b.) If you do not have a boat in the marina, bring your own or show up. We have never left a sailor on the dock.
c.) There is no race committee, so it is up to you, the skipper to start before 6:30pm.
d.) Course
1.) Go between the Old Romance PVC Pipe Marks, keeping the PVC pipe with
the flag to your port side. For the newbies these are right outside the
east basin of the marina. In other words you should be heading West
Northwest towards the #8 Navigational Mark.
2.) Starboard Rounding at the #8 Navigational Mark. Leave the navigational
mark on your starboard side.
3.) Head back to the Old Romance PVC Marks. This time the American Flag
should be on the Starboard side of the boat. That is unless someone
switched the flag position. Your boat should be heading East Southeast
towards Government Cut.
Meet at Wolfie's afterwards.
