Just a reminder if your planning to attend or participate in the N.Y. race next weekend.
The race is on SATURDAY.......NO SPECTATOR BOATS.
If you haven't faxed your info. to be a patrol or medical boat, please do it before wednesday. Patrol boat forms can be found on the SBI website.
Registration will be on THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY, in Liberty State Park near the marina, where you get your info. and flags.
Thanks, see you there. Pat D.
(if you want to fax it directly to me either today or tomorrow, my fax is 305-743-5761)

Dumb question, but what would a patrol or medical boat be on hand for???
Can anyone/boat do this w/ registration?

Pat D

Patrol boats are the assistants of race control. They are assigned to a specific zone on the course, to report any incidents or help with race boats that need assistance, like towing them off the course if they break down etc..

Our medical team assigns 2 or more people to the medical boats and are also assigned to zones throughout the course.
You do not need to be a medical person.....to be a medical boat.
The one requirement for both, is a working VHF radio to communicate with race control.
You can sign up for either at the registration tent either thursday or friday.
If your interested and have other questions, please email me at [email protected]
