Action Ashore<br />
Arrival at PCYC on Friday, the registration desk will be open starting mid<br />
morning. This is where final documents are handed in, transponders are picked<br />
up and skipper and crew kits are distributed. This is also where the story telling<br />
begins and friendly challenges are made. Once that is done, skippers and their<br />
crew are invited to enjoy PCYC’s bar service and relax and enjoy our hospitality.<br />
Many of our proud sponsors will have tents set up on the lawn overlooking<br />
Although this event’s focus is on having a tremendous time on the<br />
water, there is an amazing amount of action that takes place ashore,<br />
the busy harbour. There, participants can purchase regalia, last minute items<br />
both before and after the race.<br />
they need for the race or browse for items they may want to get in the future.<br />
Please check out www.lo<strong>300</strong>.org for up-to-the-minute details and information.<br />
The Skipper’s meeting is<br />
a command performance<br />
with important information,<br />
music, and valuable<br />
door prizes.<br />
Friday evening - Skippers’ meeting. We<br />
strongly recommend that skippers and crew<br />
attend this meeting. Last minute information,<br />
tips about the race and a meteorologist’s<br />
report are some of the things that will<br />
be discussed with the sailors. The people<br />
who paid attention to the weather report<br />
last year were at quite an advantage as they<br />
knew that storm was on its way.<br />
Following all this important information is a<br />
pre-race party with live entertainment and great food.<br />
Saturday morning. Race day opens with a breakfast sponsored by Sperry Topsider.<br />
Skippers and crew can see the Sperry Cup (presented to the overall winner),<br />
enjoy a last delicious meal on land, and participate in final boasting about<br />
how well they will place in the race.<br />
Throughout the race. A member of the LO<strong>300</strong> committee is available 24 hours<br />
a day to provide any support that is needed. As the boats finish the race, everyone<br />
is welcomed with a smile and a complimentary snack no matter the hour.<br />
