24 Distance
So you'd like to set the world record for longest distance / voyage record, but some other guy who doesn't have a job ended up taking a month long trip and blew away any chanced you had of getting a voyage record. Well, this record is a chance for you to sneak away on the weekend and make it happen! How many miles can you push it in a 24 hour period. Also as with other long sailing races, you can use a sub-set of another voyage or speed record.

24 Hour Distance Rules:
1 - Boat must be setup in class legal configuration, however you may use any wind and/or human power such as oars, paddles, pedal drive etc to propel your boat. (no electric or gas motors, or stored energy devices).
2 - Distance is measured point to point, not sailing miles recorded by GPS. So if you sail from the dock to the far side of the lake, measure the straight distance. You can also do laps, or sail to multiple points recording the straight distances between them.
3 - Portage distance does not count. If you transport the boat from one body of water to another during your voyage, the distance between does not count.
4 - Doing multiple laps in a small body of water is OK.
5 - Can be subset of another record, as long as meets these rules
6 - Must be used in an area where tidal flows and currents will not affect the speed
