I think that is the Long Beach race.

[Dude! Sweet!]

Wow, ask and you shall receive! Thanks Pat!

Two chances to kill my boat before the ski race! Awesome!

The Rum Run race is the Long Beach event to Catalina and back.

The Havasu race is the same weekend as Desert Storm Poker Run.

We have a meeting to dicuss the Dana Point Race / course on Tuesday next week. I will keep you posted on the discussions.

Dude, All you have to do is ask. Are you bringing the Pantera?

That Dana Point race would be AWESOME!

The 28 Pantera should be good to go for a March race. We're targeting the beginning of February to start testing and practicing for the ski race. So should be good to go for March. Also plan on towing out for Havasu.

Frankly, if that turns out to be the schedule, I'd say that absent any catastrophes we'd plan on doing the whole season (we'd planned on skipping any POPRA races more than say 6 hours away).

Dana Pt is my home port now so I'll be looking at running that. What is the course?

[Dude! Sweet!]

pat what is the total mileage of the catalina island race? and where do you start and finish?

Last couple years its started at the Belmont Pier, run down towards the Queen Mary, out Queens Gate and over to the area near Two Harbors (as I recall) Then I think down the lea side of the island to Avalon and back to LB to finish at the stern of the Queen Mary.

Someone put a solid gold roof on their building huh?!

Hey, if you get free on Saturday, a bunch of the ski race guys are doing a fun run/polar bear run to the island and back with lunch at Yardhouse after. I'm going to try to make it up. Give me a shout if you're around.

do you know the distance,,we only hold 60 gals,,,

[Dude! Sweet!]

do you know the distance,,we only hold 60 gals,,,

Not off the top of my head. I do recall some other guys having issues with the distance in the smaller boats. Kevin Cooper maybe?

I think it's something close to 60 miles from the stern of the Qeen Mary to the turn boat at Avalon and back (per one of my buddies that runs the ski race and verified on some internet map program). I'd guess then that would probably add a couple miles through the harbor and a couple miles down the face of the island. Ball park it at 65 - 70 miles?

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

do you know the distance,,we only hold 60 gals,,,

You get almost 1.75 miles per gallon don't you?

[Ryan Beckley]

why do I think it was 72 miles total?

[Sean H]

You get almost 1.75 miles per gallon don't you?

He is gonna need every bit of that if he is plannin on racing Miklos to Bimini and back.

[shifter]

Belmont pier 26 to the north side 16 to the south side and 30 to tail of the Queen Mary

Or you can go the platinum route and go to Dana Point on your way back... extra 30 miles approx....

Dana Point will be with the jet ski race weekend. I will know next week the course.
