EVENT (ABOUT)
Hein Bank Race has been retired – yachts may choose the original legendary Swiftsure Lightship Classic (PHRF) or Cape Flattery (ORC & PHRF) Races. Start time for Swiftsure 2024 was 10am, a better alignment with arrival of winds. No longer SPOT transponders for the Three Long Courses; the Kwindoo Race Tracking application for Racers will be employed on a designated smartphone.
Three Long Courses distances:
1. Lightship Classic=138.2nm (PHRF 100-),
2. Cape Flattery=101.9nm (ORC/PHRF)*Strum*
3. Juan de Fuca=75.2nm (PHRF 60+)
Updated World Sailing Category 3 Offshore Special Regulations(OSR) and specific 2024 Swiftsure Amendments to the OSRs for the Three Long Courses are posted in Swiftsure’s Notices of Race and Official Notice Board.
