2018 Gaboon Race!


Looking for something fun to do? Wanna go sailing?
Is it getting stinking hot and it's time to get wet?


If you answered yes to all these questions then I have an event for you. It's the Gaboon Race! A combination of skill, style and stamina. Coming next Saturday June 30 Skippers meeting at 1pm in the clubhouse.


And if that is not enough how about a rib BBQ afterwards? $10 plate - reservations requested. Sign up on website or call James Masson 727 343 2212.


A test of skill, stamina and style. Vessels will compete in seamanship, water fights and dress. That's right! This year we introduce a costume element! Points will be awarded for creativity and gallonage to the winner of each pass of another boat.


Pursuit Start One crewmember from each boat will swim from the committee boat to their anchored boat at a designated time. Boats will saill off their anchors after recovering their crewmembers. Finish by leaving mark to port then sailing backward over line.
