Arrival Time

WOW starts on the Mark Foy system, which sees a staggered start to the race. The first boat commences racing at 6:00 p.m. with other boats then starting at designated times according to their handicap. It is suggested that you arrive at the Clubhouse before 5:15 p.m. so you have time to sign-in before getting to your boat by 5:30 p.m. Try to allow plenty of time to accommodate the commuter traffic and train, and telephone your skipper or the WOW Committee if you’re running late.
