Boon I Race | Rules & Instructions | Entry Form
2009 Boon Island Race
The Arundel Yacht Club will sponsor the 2009 Boon Island Race on Saturday, 27 June 2009. We’re scheduling the race to start at 12:00 noon due to a low tide at 9:32 AM. An option would be to agree to a shorter race-course, if the finishing time is of concern. We’ll make that decision at the Skipper’s meeting at 9:00 AM on the 27th. The starting line will be between the Committee boat and FL Bell “1” off Kennebunkport, proceeding to and rounding Boon Island. The finish line (depending on the length of time) will either be between the Bell #1 and the committee boat, or in the event of a late race, between the Bell #1 and the “Red Blinking Light” on the breakwater of the entrance of Kennebunk River.
