Pram Race Rules

Friday, October 27 - Rebel Rally Reverse Handicap
  The 'tune-up' race for the PHRF racers, the 'Rebel Rally' is a Reverse Handicap
  race around MYC's Rum Race Course south of Melbourne Causeway. 
  The exact course will be announced at the club and on the course (look
  for 'Skimmer').  If you are not a regular MYC Rum Racer, you need to
  contact Hasty Miller for a start time.  No spinnakers allowed. 

  This race usually ends in the dark, so boats should make sure their running
  lights are working, or bring some alternate lighting means.  There will be
  lights mounted on the race marks, and a finish boat with a spotlight on the
  finish mark.

  5:30 pm   Cash Bar Opens
  6:00 pm   First boat starts (plus or minus a few minutes)
  8:00 pm   Approximate end of race
  ~7:30 pm   Hamburgers + Chips $2 pp

  No sign-up required, as long as you are a registered MYC Rum Racer.
