Our next battle will be Sept 18th at Coal Creek. Captains: We intend to begin the first battle at 11am, if you are not ready to be on the water by 11am and 4 ships are, you will not participate in the first sortie.  If you need time to set up and prep ships, come early.  I recommend arriving at 10:30 or earlier to give yourself enough time.  There will be a 20 minute break between each sortie to repair ram damage and make mechanical and electrical fixes to your ships as needed.  After the first battle consisting of two sorties is complete (roughly noon)Read More →

At the end of July we will be having 2 events. On July 30th, at about 1pm we will be gathering at the Bellevue Downtown Park Pond for an afternoon of FunRun, BS and general fun (but only limited mayhem as we can’t shoot there).  The current thought is to go get food as a group afterwards.  Everyone is invited, feel free to bring your spouse, significant other or any person you would like.  This is an excellent pre-battle chance to perform seatrials and find problems that need correcting. On July 31st we will be having a battle at Swan Creek in Tacoma.  Planned startRead More →
