No Island trial this weekend!!

The MOD70s are in town this weekend and they'll be running inshore racing in Scotsman's Bay.  It'll be spectacular, as you can see from the video of their arrival (sorry for the pre-roll ad if you get one!)



However, their racing zone straddles the route of the Island Trial and the harbor master has closed the area to all other traffic.  You can see details of the arrangements here.  As always, it's your responsibility to be safe and it's not particularly safe to be run down by a 70-foot trimaran at high speed!  

So, despite a promising weather forecast - particularly for Saturday afternoon - the course is effectively closed for the weekend. It's a particular pity since we've had several weeks where the weather gods were not cooperating and the winds were from the wrong direction for fast times.
