The Fun Race
2010 Race Documents
You can find the 2010 Notice of Race attached below, in the beautiful colorful version or the text-only version.
The NOR includes the equipment requirements, which are based on the 2008-2009 ISAF Offshore Special Regulations with USSailing Prescriptions. An extract is published here.
There is also a separate anchor requirements page. It is attached below.
Sharp-eyed skippers will note a few changes for 2010, designed to allow more flexibility in meeting basic safety requirements. These changes are based on advances in technology as well as advancing understanding of what works.:
Mayhem Makes 70!
No sooner had we pointed out that we were nearing our magical mark of 70 than MAYHEM, skippered by Ashley Wolfe turned up on the roster.
This would be a good time to get your entries in order! We intend to take a certain number of signups beyond 70, but the turnout for the 2010 race is truly gratifying!
Strong Entry Count. Seminar Preparations Continue
The entries keep rolling in as folks decide that maybe some time at sea is just what they need. Just this week, we have seen five more entries, including some old and some brand new boats. We are now one active entry short of 70!
Sail On, Roy
We are saddened to report the passing of Roy Disney. Mr. Disney contributed his time, talent, and resources mightily to the sport of Trans-Pacific racing, most notably in Pywacket which had a splendid career in TransPac as well as Pacific Cup races with records set repeatedly.
