The revised Quarts Racing format on March 21st successfully integrated racing into the regular Masters session, with earlier start times encouraging strong participation and keeping energy high throughout the morning. Racing concluded efficiently by 10:30 a.m., and the combination of timed pieces, adaptive boatings, and a fun wrap-up created a competitive yet social atmosphere that was well received by members.  See photos and videos here 

And here are some pictures!
