Point to Point courses are defined with fixed landmarks such as piers, lighthouses, and islands. Sea beds are not disturbed by anchored buoys.
Rally Style Racing is Safer
You are racing against the clock ... not each other No green flag jitters ... start when YOU are ready
No red haze ... no deck to deck racing
No corners ... yes, most accidents occur in corners
