In addition to our cruising activities, the Gig Harbor
Yacht Club is home to an active group of boat owners who
participate in Predicted Navigation Contests throughout
Puget Sound and British Columbia. Our skippers
routinely bring home trophies in these events.
Predicted Navigation Contests, or "Predicted Log Races"
involve the calculation of the time required to run a
given course and distance. The skipper then navigates
their boat using only a compass and the boat's RPM
gauge. The winner is the skipper who can predict the
time required to run this course with the lowest
percentage of error.`

Time Your Boat
If you are planning to race this season and would like
help in timing your boat please call Jim Anderson
at 253-857-3306. To time your boat allow the time
needed to get from your slip to Ruston Way plus 1.5 – 2
hours. You will need a stop watch.
Gig Harbor Yacht Club members are eager to assist you in
getting involved in this program, which serves as an
excellent way to improve your navigation skills.
