SYSCO Crew Overboard (COB) Challenge
March 24th, Sunday, start time 1pm
Buoy 14 Start line
Everybody welcome!
Practice your Crew Overboard skills in the Crew Overboard Challenge March 24th, starting at 1pm. No one goes in the water! Way more fun that way! This challenge is set up to practice your skills by going through 2 overboard drills of your own design. They can be full blown with your spinnaker flying, or a minimal toss off your stern. This practice drill is a great mixer because you can’t continue on until you retrieve your marker from the water.
The other fun part of this race is the Pursuit Chase start: the slowest boats go first. Theoretically, everyone will end at the same time, making for an exciting finish.
This challenge is sponsored by SYSCO (Small yacht sailing club of Oregon) every year. For 2024 we’re using it as a Grow the Sport event. Fees are waived. All sailboats are welcome to participate.
