“BOSBAAN MIXED PILOT GIG Regatta 2017

Dear Friends,

The Royal Netherlands Yacht Club, KNZ&RV, will organize this summer a unique race on a unique location: a relative short board-to-board race for Cornish Pilot Gigs for MIXED teams (3F + 3M) on the Amsterdam Bosbaan. The course was built in 1936 as part of an employment project and originally had five lanes, but was then widened to six lanes. The Bosbaan hosts many international championships like the “Koninklijke Holland Beker”.

• No need to ship your gig. We have Cornish Pilot Gigs available.
• An early start at around 10 am and finishing the event around 2 pm
• A 2.2 km board-to-board race. By bike the whole race can be followed.
• Six gigs per heat. 1^st and 2^nd heats determine the qualification; 3^rd and 4^th the finales A and B. Heats 1 and 2 will be rowed directly after one another followed by the B final and the A final.
• Facilities like showers and toilets are available.

The race will be open for 2 English teams out of a total of 12 teams. Entrance fee to cover the costs will be 70 Euro per team (rental of the race track).
