What is a Pursuit Race?  This is an amazingly fun way to race boats of different sizes. After all of the handicap numbers are sorted, each boat will be given a start time – slowest boat first, fastest boat last. From then, the first boat to complete the round-the-buoys-course wins the race!!

No Boat to Race??  No problem, LCCSC is offering FREE BOAT RENTAL for this event (just pay the entry fee). All Sonars, Lido’s, Hobies and Escapes are available for this fun race.

Please call LCCSC at 802-864-2499 for a registration form or stop by – we are in the Old Moran Plant North of the Fishing Pier.
