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.
