The Course
The course itself remains unchanged — we’re racing the same waters off Rockland Harbor — but the move from the Public Landing gives us better docking, more staging space, and a cleaner setup for the race committee.
The race is twice around. Starting at Mark A (Start/Finish, off Landings Marina), boats navigate a series of marks through the harbor and out toward Broad Cove before returning. The chart below shows approximate mark positions — actual positions on race day will vary with wind and tide.
| Mark | Latitude | Longitude |
|---|---|---|
| A (Start/Finish) | 44° 06.45′N | 069° 04.95′W |
| B | 44° 05.94′N | 069° 05.31′W |
| C | 44° 05.74′N | 069° 03.67′W |
| D | 44° 05.70′N | 069° 04.55′W |
| E | 44° 05.52′N | 069° 05.12′W |
| F | 44° 05.64′N | 069° 05.85′W |
| G1 | 44° 05.53′N | 069° 04.89′W |
| G2 | 44° 05.58′N | 069° 04.87′W |
Handicap Alley
Handicap Alley is a designated section of the course where sloops are grouped by their assigned flag (A–F) based on hull size and handicap rating determined by the Race Committee. Your flag determines your position in the alley. Check the table below to find your group — assignments will be updated before race day. Questions about your sloop’s rating? Contact the Race Committee.
