Timing
The shape of a sailing day. Boats are usually pushed out of the boatshed for rigging around 10.30 to 11.00 on a Saturday morning. Rigging will take a few hours and may be delayed if the wind forecast is proving unpredictable. Boats go into the water around 1.30 depending on the start line. The race starts between 2.15 and 2.30 and has a limit of 2 hours. Typically the boats are back to the club around 4.30 to 5.00 and have to be de-rigged, which can take around 30 minutes. After that it is a shower, a quiet drink and autopsy of the days racing. A presentation takes place between 6.00 to 6.30.
