RACING AREA / COURSES
The racing Thursday (Olson 30) will take place using the fixed “club marks” just out from the Tahoe Keys on South Shore. The start/finish for Friday’s distance race will be out front of Tahoe Keys. Saturday and Sunday racing will be in Stateline Bay (the Southeast corner of Lake Tahoe). Allow plenty of time to get there from your mooring. Towboat(s) will be available from your mooring (call Kurt 530 307 0903) approx. 1 ½ hr before start each day.

BERTHING AND HAUL-OUT RESTRICTIONS
Boats may be kept in any area convenient to your accommodations. If you are staying at Timber Cove, a number of buoys are reserved for our use at Timber Cove Marina. The cleanest water for your bottom is out on a mooring on the Lake itself, rather than rafted by the hoist. Rafting in the vicinity of the hoist is very limited and may not be available (last year it was $40 per night) – enter early and we will find you a spot. Please respect that it is a commercial marina with a short season. Boats shall not be hauled out during the regatta except with written permission from the race committee.

PRIZES
Prizes will be given to the first five places. In order to facilitate haul-out, the awards will be made at the hoist area of the marina after any protests have been resolved.
