Grampyshottub Posted October 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Has anyone heard if there have been any schedule changes for October 16,17, & 18th? The Dawn is getting in on Sunday the 18th and they are holding the finals of the World Series of Sailing for the America's Cup in Great Sound. Getting to Hamilton that day May be a challenge.

njhorseman Posted October 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2015 They are actually planning additional ferry service, but if the races have to be moved to Hamilton Harbor service will be cancelled between 12 noon and 4 pm: http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20151015/NEWS25/151019790 An issue of more concern is that the ferry workers are currently engaged in a "work to rule" job action...what labor unions in the US often call a "rule book slowdown". This could mean some disruptions in service to cruise passengers because they often add additional ferry runs at peak times to accommodate cruise passengers, and that might not be done because of the job action.

calmpets Posted October 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Why would they move the races to Hamilton Harbour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted October 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Why would they move the races to Hamilton Harbour? I suspect it would be done if wind and sea conditions were unfavorable in Great Sound...for example if it were very windy they might want to race in the more protected waters of Hamilton Harbor.
