My club is organizing a hull flying contest for a bit of fun after racing finishes for the day at a forthcoming event. Here is the draft format we came up with:

• Two buoys a foot ball field apart, adjacent to the dike.
• Competitors park up on one side of the course by the chase boat
• Chase boat calls you in one at a time
• You have to keep a hull up between the two buoys - If you touch down - you are out.
• Everyone who flies a hull between the buoys goes on to the next round.
• If no one is being knocked out the spacing between the buoys will be increased.
• Last boat standing takes the pot ($5 to enter)

The dike is a long, flat structure that is perpendicular to prevailing wind - so the hull flying contest will take place right in front of the spectators on smooth water.

I'm looking for ideas and input on the format - do you think it will work? Have you organized something similar?

Chris.
