Although it is very enjoyable to go out and run the Reef Racer
by yourself, we think the real fun and excitement is
experienced when you get involved in RACING!
Racing does not have to be an organized and sanctioned
competition to be fun. In fact, small informal races can be
very exciting without the stress that comes with formal events.
Here are some suggestions for setting up a simple racecourse
for boats:
• Make 2 to 4 simple and inexpensive “marker buoys” with
empty milk jugs, string and heavy objects for anchors, similar
to the above sketch.
• For “drag racing” place the buoys similar to the above sketch.
•For “oval racing” place the buoys similar to the above
sketch. NOTE: The above patterns are not based on any sort
of official standards; therefore, you may set up racecourses
any way you desire, using your imagination to make the races
more interesting. Usually the smaller courses will provide
more action and excitement.
The length of the races can be determined by a set number of
laps around the buoys (for example, the first boat to complete
5 laps is the winner); or by time (for example, whoever is
leading at the end of two minutes is the winner).
