beer can race
A casual, think flash mob of boats, sailboat race where all are welcome to enter. First one back in wins….bragging rights! Often the race is out toward some point/buoy/rock/etc for a set time, then you u-turn (wherever you are) and race back to finish at the starting line, so everyone has an even chance to come in first.
“If you need an excuse to get your Laser out sailing, there’s a Beer Can Race at Spirit Lake, 1:00pm every Sunday.”
