Course:
Start in a westerly direction across a line between the TYC Committee Boat located approximately 1/4 mile east of the Clubhouse and a temporary mark located south of the committee boat. Leave Vashon and Maury Islands to starboard. To reduce the problem of interference with the Vashon ferry landing, a temporary mark will be set approximately one-half mile north of Point Vashon off the north end of Vashon Island. This mark must be left to starboard. Finish in a westerly direction across the Finish line between an inflatable mark located approximately 200 yard north of the TYC club house and a orange flag on the TYC deck.
The race may be shortened at Olalla, the north end of Vashon, or Point Robinson at the sole discression of the Race Committee. If shortened, finish between a temporary marker and the committee boat displaying the S flag.
