The now annual West Bay 10k Challenge is fast approaching and it is looking to be a very busy race weekend for OMRA with many drivers having entered weeks before the race already. We thought it would be a good idea to outline some of the upcoming weekend details.
TIMINGS
- Dates: Sat 11th - Sun 12th June 2022
- Recommended arrival 7:30am each day. Parking is in front of the Harbour Masters Office. 18 spaces in total which will be first come first serve. But there is plenty of other parking if you wish to drop your boats and go.
- Drivers meeting will be 8:30am prompt.
- Timed runs start 9am and end 4-5pm each day.
RUNNING
Each entered boat gets 30mins and a maximum of 3 stops to complete their fastest time attempt. Saturday running will be in approximate class order and there will be auto text notifications to remind drivers their run is fast approaching and get to ready. We will also have the Yacht Bot app on the screen too to see chase boat positions.
Sunday running will be the fastest boats first from Saturday in an approximate sequential order, not by class. Presentation will be immediately after the last boat has run.
SATURDAY EVENING
We have a reservation at a restaurant called RISE on Saturday evening for 7:30pm. Please let us know if you wish to attend as there are limited spaces.
FILMING
So we are planning to do much more filming at West Bay this time round. With the waterproof drone launched from the rescue boat, the gimbal cam and GoPro. There will be a couple of runs where a chase boat will follow the action alongside another chase boat to get some on water action. And we will be doing some interviews to camera as well.
