There will be one start for all boats.
This is a single race held the evening of Thursday, August 1. Boats will race short- handed as follows:
1. Single-hand: All boats under 24 feet (e.g. Cal-20s, Ranger 20s, Catalina 22s,
Venture 21s).
2. Double-hand: All boats 24 to 30 feet (e.g. Martin 24s, J-24s, Merit 25s, PHRF,
and Cruising)
3. Triple-hand: All boats over 30 feet (e.g. J-105s, PHRF, and Cruising).
Additional crew are permitted to be on a boat being raced shorthanded to serve
as rail-meat or ballast as long as the extra crew does not hand, reef, steer, or
touch a control line. Additional crew members are permitted to fire supersoak-
ers and water cannon at other boats in their class after the starting signal.
