This Event is for potential crew on Riptide50 Strum for the 2024 RVicYC Swiftsure International Yacht race. ABOUT
In response to Swiftsure racers, we have exciting information:
Hein Bank Race has been retired – yachts may choose the original legendary Swiftsure Lightship Classic (PHRF) or Cape Flattery Race where an ORC class has been added along with PHRF
Start time for Swiftsure 2024 is 10 AM – a better alignment with arrival of winds.
No longer SPOT transponders for the Three Long Courses; the Kwindoo Race Tracking application for Racers will be employed on a designated smartphone.
Three Long Courses distances:
1. Swiftsure Lightship Classic = 138.2 nm (PHRF NW rating 100 or faster),
2. Cape Flattery Races = 101.9 nm (ORC/PHRF NW)*Strum*
3. Juan de Fuca Races = 75.2 nm (PHRF NW 60 and slower)
Updated World Sailing Category 3 Offshore Special Regulations(OSR) and specific 2024 Swiftsure Amendments to the OSRs for the Three Long Courses are posted in Swiftsure’s Notices of Race and Official Notice Board.
