We'd like to invite the Laser Class to Norfolk, VA for the 2018 Sunfish Challenge and Dinghy Distance Race. The race is open to all dinghies and beach cats. There are many Lasers registered so there will be a separate Laser start.
A unique change from the normal upwind/downwind racing, this is an 11 mile ride out into Hampton Roads harbor, around Middle Ground Lighthouse and back to the start off of the Hampton Yacht Club.
The race is all inclusive, encouraging novices and sailors who are a "bit rusty," but you will see all skill levels on the course.
Because of the long distance of the race, Breakfast is provided, and at The post race party, there will be free dinner and free beer.
Any class with 3 or more boats will get a start. There are open classes for monohulls and multihulls which will be scored with the Portsmouth Yardstick rule. So please encourage non-Laser sailors to participate as well.
There is also a section on the website under the "more" heading for loaner boats.
There are camping, hotel, and Air BnB options for out of town competitors.
Hope to see you there!
