Fun Race Formats

Our Thursday fun races will often have a different set of rules and layout each week! See our fun race sailing instruction page for more details!

Committee Boat

Volunteer for committee boat! If you want to volunteer to crew on the committee boat, this is a good way to observe the race and maybe learn more about sailing. Please let us know via Team Reach.

Committee boat captains will use the Course Map below to determine where the course will be on the lake and then post that information on Team Reach.

Course Map
Course Map – There are three areas (A, B, C, and D) that can be used.

NOTE: Committe boat captains should pick a course so it stays outside the 10 foot depth lines. This is needed to allow keel boats (some draw 5 feet or more) to race and avoid weed growth which only disappears when the water is at least 8 feet. Keep the course at least a third of a mile from the windward shore to avoid wind shadow.
