The Art of the Start Stake Race
Masters only
2000 Meters
A stake race is composed of completing an out-and-back racing piece, traveling half the distance, turning your shell around (in some cases rounding a buoy or stake) and then racing back to where you started as fast as you can. Because you will be starting from a dead stop at the beginning, and because you have to get your boat back up to speed after the midpoint turn, you get the chance to practice your start sequence not once, but twice during your race.
