races will start every 1/2 hour as long as we have participants

This competition is a sailing race from Cuba to Padres. The course will wind its way through several islands and should take about 20 minutes to complete. There are no prizes here…this is just designed for fun. *hint* print and review map before the race.



*hint 2* print and review the map before the race.

There are just a few rules which hopefully will make it more interesting and challenging.

1. Each race will consist of 6 boats all of the same ship class. (Ideally it would work this way, but the first weekend will be a free for all)

2. All pirates will start on the broken dock where Tia Dahlma is located in the swamps of Cuba. I will crew all those racing so you can give me updates during the race as needed.

3. At the start of the race each pirate will need to run to the dinghy on the beach to launch their ship.

4. Once launched you will need to follow the course as outlined on the map. Any deviation to the course and you will be DQ’d.

5. You are NOT allowed to use Full Sail or Ramming speed during the race. Anyone caught using these sailing aides will be DQ’d.

6. Before you port on Padres you must have a FULL cargo load. Since you will be crewed you must report to me when your cargo hold is full. If you do not report to me that your cargo is full upon completion of the race you will be DQ’d. Of course this will be on the honor system but it should be clear to each of the racers if the other boats are not engaging enemy ships. It’s a long race so pick your spots wisely.

7. If you sink you are out of the race.

8. Once you’ve ported you will need to run to the fountain in the square and ATTUNE me with your doll. First one to do so wins.


I have no idea what kind of response this will get so i'm going to start with a War Sloop race (as noted above this first weekend will be a free for all). reply to this post or PM me if you are interested. first come first served.

Let me know if you have any questions. This is my first shot at organizing anything like this so suggestions are welcome.
