The tequila series is a summer series for the people that stay local. It runs every two weeks on Saturday at 11 AM. It’s really just a fun series. They are normally two mark courses and are over in a couple of hours.
 
They are pursuit races which means that your start time is adjusted based on your handicap. So it will be staggered starts and the first boat to finish wins.
