A Race Was Born.
Nothing fosters the competitive spirit like a good ol’ fashioned challenge. We figured the best way to publicize thundercat performance was to bet the general public they couldn’t outdo us. For their size, thundercats are excellent at running in rough water at high speed. They’re practically born to race in the surf and we’re so confident nothing can beat us, we’re putting our cold hard cash down to draw out the competition.
500 BUCKS oughta make it worth your time.
Run whatcha brung and hope you brought enough… as long as it’s a boat that’s 13 feet 11 inches (excluding motor and non flotation brackets) or shorter. Any motor size any hull type. Potentially, larger boat classes will be opened as interest necessitates.
The first leg of the BayLoosa Challenge is 53 miles and begins near St. Andrews State Park. The course exits the St. Andrews Bay Pass into the Gulf of Mexico and ends at the Destin Pass east jetty. Upon completing the first leg, the vessel will have 30 minutes to cross the start line of the second leg on the north end of Crab Island. The time is to allow for refueling and safe passage through the Destin Bridge no wake zone. The second leg is 60 miles through the Choctawhatchee Bay, Intercoastal Waterway, and West Bay to conclude near St. Andrews State Park.
Date and details to follow.
