The Peconic Puffin

Windsurf Racing

– The main event, with multiple races is scheduled for Saturday.  If
conditions are not conducive to sailing, we may decide as a group on Saturday,
to postpone events until Sunday, 10/11.  

  There will be several Race Divisions, including:

  -  Open Division – no limits re board or sails.  This will
include RSX and Formula, and any boards with a sail > 7.5.

  -  7.5 Division -  limited only to sails that do not exceed
7.5, and no formula gear.  Intended for the casual racer, this will likely
be the largest fleet and main event.

Depending on participation, we may also post scores for: 

 -  Womens Division
 -  Juniors Div  – (17 &
under)
 -  Masters  (50 yrs and over)
 - 
Heavyweights – (Actual weight category TBD)

Other potential events at the Regatta:

– Freestyle will not be an official competition, but, we will be looking
for freestylers of all levels to go out in between races and show us what you
got.  This is for the crowd… hot-dogs wanted!

 

SUP Races

– If enough people bring paddles and are willing, we'll run some SUP races
along the beach.   SUP boards are preferred, but Longboards can used
as well.

 

Windsurf Relay Races

– Relay teams will be assigned at the event and team relay races will be
run.

 

Event Location:   

It depends on the Wind!    The specific venue will be
decided and announced the night before the event, based on forecasted wind
conditions.

 

If wind is forecast out of the South, East, or West, we  will likely
run the event at Heckscher State Park on the south shore of
LI. 

If wind is forecast from the North, we will go to the LI Sound
side, where we will likely select either:

– Steers Beach Park, Northport (type it in Google
Maps and it will take you right there), or

– West Neck Beach, Cold Spring
Harbor 

 

 

The location selection will be posted on:

– PeconicPuffin (this here blog!)
– the LI Windsurf Yahoo group
– iWindsurf.com’s forums,
– the windsurfing newsgroup.
