Long Distance Races — Finish Procedures and Submission of Finish Times:
When taking their own time boats shall record the actual on the clock time (hr:min:sec), not elapsed time. The accuracy of the time piece used shall be verified against a GPS or another source of accurate time within 2 hours of finishing and corrections, if any, shall be applied to the recorded time.
Boats should email their time to the long distance scorers (Clicking on the link will prepare an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
