Race 2 of the MIR will be conducted as a Pursuit Race. All boats shall start at a time defined by their handicap, and finish order will equal prize order. Start times will be issued at the race briefing prior to Race 2. Handicaps may be adjusted by the Race Committee overnight to reflect each boat’s performance from Race 1. DBYC SRI 8.2 refers.

Boats will be handicapped by HKPN, or DBPN (issued by the DBYC) if no HKPN is available. The DBYC Handicapping Committee reserves the right to adjust existing HKPN handicaps as required by conditions, in order to fairly balance the performance of all boats entered.

Berthing will be possible, on a space-available basis, at the DB Marina Club on the nights of 17^th and 19^th October 2008, with charges waived for participating boats. Participating crews may use the Marina Club bar and restaurant as a guest of, and in company with, a Marina Club member.

Please submit entries by the 15th Oct at the latest - it would help the organising committee if you do it earlier so we can ensure we don’t run out of Tequila!
