FRANK HANSEN MEMORIAL RACE REGATTA
PRESENTED BY THE SEATTLE OUTBOARD ASSOCIATION
FEATURING OUTBOARD HYDROPLANES & RUNABOUTS
As a courtesy to the residents living on and around the Angle Lake Community, the Angle Lake Shore Club recently distributed a flyer announcing Hydroplane Races scheduled for September 10th & 11th.
This BULLETIN is to correct a few misstatements and expand on a couple other items included in that flyer so that we are all on the same page:
1. Hours of actual racing are from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm on both Saturday the 10th and Sunday the 11th
2. The statement that “The Seattle Outboard Association has obtained a Park Use Permit” is not correct. The current status is that the City of SeaTac has approved amending the existing ordinance regarding speed limits on Angle Lake for this single event. Subsequently the City of SeaTac is currently working on adapting a Special Use Permit to accommodate this event. In talks with Council Members, City Staff and The Seattle Outboard Association we feel confident that everyone is on board to make this happen.
3. Park Restrictions and Lake Closure will be formally addressed in the Special Use Permit for the event. However, until such time as we hear differently here are some guidelines for those private property owners along the shoreline to consider:
a. While the East / West leg of the lake will most certainly be closed to public during the event some type of barrier will be in place to separate the north / south leg of the lake that we believe will remain open for public use.
b. We recommend any water activity at private waterfront lots be limited to between the shoreline and dock areas and that all children are under constant adult supervision to avoid anyone from encroaching past the dock lines.
c. Make sure that all privately owned boats, equipment, toys, etc. are fully secured to minimize that chances of drifting into the race course.
4. This special event is fully operated and funded by The Seattle Outboard Association and is NOT an ALSC event, however the ALSC does endorse this event.
5. We ask everyone to pay attention to the following points for objective consider in the event that the ALSC board of directors remains in favor of this event and goes around with another survey to see if a majority still want the event for future years.
6. We want this to be a fun event for those that supported it and a safe event for everyone.
The ALSC Board of Directors
