Hi folks
I was playing around with the idea of a new years day race,
What a great way to start off the new year.
An idea of the race would be around the Brunos, Nana Juana, and down stream for a bit. Then after maybe we could all head over to the Mar Marine Karaoke night to sing the night away.
I am up for a race if any other boats are interested then just post your interest here.
A really fun type of race is called a persuit race where basically the slowest boat crosses the line first and then the next slowest and the fastest boat leaves last. Then you can really be a part of the race as u can always see exactly how u are doing.
It will be a fun relaxed race and also a great way to get the cobwebs off the sails
So anyone interested?
Open to ideas

a good idea to bring more sailing and playing to the rio, however on the main holidays there is heavy traffic and noise so I stay away (personal)...
I am new to the sport, I would love to be part of a more active movement to promote and learn about sailing (long term, organized approach), it would be a good thing for the rio, tourists and locals, making use of a lot of hardware, experience, adding a beautiful attraction, having fun, going sailing.

I hope you get something going, feliz navidad Marco

m/v Steel Magnolia is in -- if elpolvo will come down and show me how to raise that canvas whatchamacallit jib thing.

I'll bet we cross the starting line first and the finish line last. Wink

To avoid holiday water traffic, why not head out into the lake (there are fewer things out there for me to crunch).

yeha
So does two boats make a race, Well I guess the final of the Americas cup is .
Not sure if the lago is wide enough to help u with the crunch factor. Very Happy

I'm getting in late on the 31st, but if anybody needs some extra help, I'll be on my boat at Bruno's in the AM, probably sleeping in the cockpit (as i can't seem to find my padlock keys).
