Who?

The races are open to anybody with their own sloop. Members of the Shadow Guardians have a cheaper entrance fee

How?

In order to enter, send a /tell to Okaw with your vessel name and the name of your partner (if you have one) before 11:45AM pirate time on the day of the race. Once you have been acknowledged, you must then pay the entry fee, somebody involved with the race will the ask to whisk aboard, you then order them to navigate in order to chart you.

At Noon game time, a starting signal will be made across the /fo chat channel, and individually by /tell to any boats not in the flag.

Upon this signal, all ships may then deport. If any ship departs before this signal, a false start will be called and the race will be restarted.

If a second false start is made, the offending boat will be penalized.
