Re: Schdeduling a race on a Sunday?

We see no problem with having a race on a Sunday.
The Quartermaster Harbor race on Vashon Island used to be held on Sundays. And I
recall that we scheduled the Elk River Challenge on a Sunday one year to take
advantage of the best tide situation.
When other boating groups, such as rowing
or outrigger or kayak organizations schedule a race on a particular
Saturday, we can still take advantage of a desirable weekend by choosing
Sunday. A good example was last September 22 when the SR Lake Samish race
and the Pacific NW Outrigger Lummi Reservation race were on the same
morning. If either of those events had been on Sunday, attendance at both
would have been greater. And many paddlers would have enjoyed a full weekend of
racing in the greater Bellingham area.
