Unlimited (any horsepower up to 99 MPH with a 15’ or larger hull with seats. No tiller handles)
Two boats will run head to head. Jets are ok to race against props on the straight line course. The order on the first bracket will be picked by boat type at random by booth officials, unless an order is agreed on by Unlimited Racers. Boats will use a rolling start, beginning in the harbor. The Start Boat will be positioned on the land side of the boats. The inside boat will line up with the start boat, and the outside boat will line up with both boats. When boats are nose to nose, the start boat will signal with a green flag to start at or around the Breakwater marked “START” on the race map. Run is a single straight line to the Finish. The end of the race is in line with the orange finish buoy and the dolphin off the North side of City Dock marked “FINISH” on the race map. This may be a single or double elimination race, depending on number of entrants. Boats MUST stay to the West of the inner boundary buoys, which are next to City Dock marked in red on the race map, or will be disqualified from all races. Boats will not cross into another boat’s path or will be disqualified. Boats will finish on their own side of the Finish Buoy or be disqualified. Boats will come off step, then turn away from each other to return to the pit in a safe manner, at a safe speed, to the breakwater. Return path will be on the outside of the Limited circular course (white buoys). Boats will not race back to the harbor or will be disqualified. Note: Track and boundary buoys will be of different color.
