1st June 2010
GPS Tracking for Metmasts Turbine Race

Arklow's MetMasts Turbines Yacht Race around the Arklow Bank wind turbines takes place this Sunday, and will be tracked live onine via GPS transponders.

Each boat will be fitted with a GPS unit, with spectators and friends able to track their favourite team's progress on the Arklow SC website.

The race start is at 1000Hrs, with a skippers' briefing at 0900 Hrs in the clubhouse.

 The challenge of a 34 mile sprint around the turbines, coupled with the attraction of the magnificent metmAsts trophies and increased prize fund, should entice keen sailors looking for the extra excitement that this new race promises.   

Entry forms and details are available at www.arklowsc.com
