GB BEACH SPRINT SELECTION TRIAL 2
31 July 23 - Exmouth (GBR)
updated timings for monday 31 july
Please meet on the beach at 7:30am. Due to high winds forecast over night which has meant the course has had to be brought in to be re-laid in the morning. There will be a number of jobs to do, including laying the course, de-rigging and loading singles and rowing the quads over from Exmouth RC. On arrival at 7:30 we’ll issue everyone with a job. The wind is due to drop through the morning, so the plan will be to start racing as soon as the conditions are fair to do so.
All senior racing will be in quads, all under 19 racing in doubles.
