Race Description.  The Minot’s Light Roundabout is a 4.8 mile open water rowing event open to all sea-worthy, oar-powered craft. Participants will row in the open ocean waters to Minot's Light, and conditions can vary dramatically. Occasionally the water can be very rough, with strong winds and waves. We will have powerboats on the course to monitor checkpoints, but we do not provide boat escorts — you should expect to be out of their sight and fully independent during the race. We will not have a rain date. In the case of adverse weather conditions or fog we may use an alternate course or call off the race.  

LUNCH on the beach, Concert, Awards and T-Shirts.

Safety.  Each participant must carry or wear a USCG-approved PFD (life jacket), and each participant must carry an attention-getting noisemaker, such as a whistle on a lanyard or a horn.  Crews rowing single and double Aldens, kayaks, surfskis, canoes and similar boats must wear life jackets.

Facilities.  Rest rooms and water are available in the Sandy Beach bathhouse.  There is ample parking at Sandy Beach.

Information Required for Registration:

Boat.  You will need the name and class of your boat plus the boat manufacturer and model.
