Most of the "mixed" races had girls skiing from Weirs to Meredith and return, 8 miles. The guys then skied 24 miles, into the broads and return, various routes. There were also single marathons of varying distances, 30-50 miles. I recall Paige Callahan sling those entire races, slalom. The biggest, at least in distance, was 120 miles sponsored by Goodhue Boat yard, commemorating Captain Jack's 60th birthday, and 120 years in business. Two days, sixty miles each day. It was very rough, and many teams did not finish. I drove in that race and did OK as I had a deep vee hull. where most ski boats are flat bottomed. Faster, no wake and no good in big whitecaps.
