This is a circular course and with the Jolly Harbour yachts taking their time when they go through the
Falmouth harbour line and at the finish, and the Falmouth Harbour yachts taking their time when they
go through the Jolly Harbour line. We will have 3 races, the leg from Jolly to Falmouth, the leg from
Falmouth to Jolly and the entire course.
We do this so that the yachts from Jolly Harbour don’t need to sail to Falmouth for the Start and back to
Jolly after the Finish.
There may be a time check on VHF Ch 12 at 0900 and at 0915 in
any case set your watches to GPS time
