Midnight Madness runs Friday, August 18. Come enjoy a great evening on the water. This fun event draws a large contingent of NSC sailors who enjoy not only racing, but also the challenge of sailing at night. The event is open only to keelboats; Skippers meeting is at 2030 on the west lawn, with the warning gun scheduled for 2200.
There’s still lots of time to join the fun! All the general SI stuff is in the Sailing Instructions. The course will be confirmed at the Skippers meeting. Attendance at the Skippers meeting is mandatory for all skippers/owners; other crew are invited to attend. The marks are typically lit with glow sticks or other lights.
As noted in Annex A, a valid PHRF certificate is not required, however, a provisional handicap shall be provided by the club handicapper. If you do not have a valid PHRF handicap, email the handicapper as soon as possible. Boats are asked to complete this online registration form as soon as practical, prior to the event.
Up for grabs is the After Hours Bowl.
Sailing after dusk is a unique experience which helps to improve not only your ability to steer and navigate using other senses, but also to prepare your crew for any other overnight cruising or racing that you have planned. The necessary safety gear is a requirement, along with a fun attitude.
Please send an email to the undersigned if you have any questions.
