Nemesis and Malgas set out on Saturday morning, 16 January 2016 at 6:00am to round a GPS mark off St Francis. This was a good opportunity for gaining 100 coastal miles, watch-keeping and night hours towards advanced skipper gradings, but the strong easterlies discouraged entries.
Results:
This overnight race to a turning mark of the Port of St Francis on 16 & 17 January has been amended to start at 06h30, instead of 19h30.
Skippers will be at 06h00.
Skippers of participating yachts are asked to post their entry by Thursday 14th January 16h30 with the Race Convenor (morgan_griffiths@yahoo.co.uk).

NB: The turning marker is an imaginary mark off Cape St Francis Harbour Wall. Yachts will be monitored via “tracking” system. The permanent marker off the Harbour Wall has been moved closer to the break-water and therefore is too dangerous for use as a rounding mark!
