Rules: Must comply with Maryland's State COVID-19 restrictions.
These are pursuit cruising events. Boat handicaps are built into the delayed starting times.
Faster boats must "catch"up and pass the boats with higher PHRF's.
The delays are strictly calculated using PHRF, Time-over-Distance. (TOD)
No timekeeping is required to determine who is the first to get to "Z".
This event is just for fun, no records will be kept.
A committee boat may not be available.
Honorable self-starting and solo sailing may be the norm.
Process:
- A lead boat will select the course based on the wind direction and wind speed.
- Use the 2020 ESSA Choptank Course List
- Use the pursuit start time list to find your delay for your beginning time.
- First to go by the "Z" Zulu marker gets to "trash talk" on Channel 72.
How to read the delay chart:
Go down to the course number line.
Go across to your boat column.
The number is the number of minutes that you must wait before you pass the departure marker.
If 6:00 PM is the start, add the delay.
See you out there.
