Each event consists of 4 races using course 3, the Anti-clockwise 'M' layout. Each race consists of 4 laps.
Note: Club 500 racing whilst not a contact sport does involve a little 'bumping and banging' so we highly recommend your boat has additional floation aids fitted.
The first race of each event is a simple loop (clockwise or anti clockwise) which gives everyone to get a feel for racing and get your eye in.
Following the traditional 'M' course in a clockwise direction.
The third race of each meeting is an anti-clockwise 'M' with the finisihing line between the starting gates and the centre of the course.
Note: 4 laps per race.
Points are allocated based on finishing position, with 10 points awarded for first place, 9 points for second, 8 points for third place etc. Zero points are awarded for not finishing a race, not starting the event, or if you are disqualified.
