Wednesday Racing (Earlier Start)

Night Vision Series

We are now in a position to restart the Wednesday Race Series. Things will be a little different from normal - so please read the information below and the Sailing Instructions. This series is a single race each Wednesday evening. It will only happen if there are volunteers for Race Officer

Start Time: 18:30

Number of Races: 1 only

Start Line: Crows Nest to Club Mark (Red buoy with letter C)

Start Sequence: Fast and Slow Handicap races will take place. Details in SIs. If sufficient boats form a fleet they will still start in the handicap race but will get a fleet result too!

Course: Will be displayed in the window of the crows nest.

Launching & Slipway Slots:

If you are planning to race - no need to book a slipway slot - instead book the race using the button below. (If you plan to sail after lunch - please still book a slot for that; likewise if you plan to buddy sail earlier in the day). Try to avoid congestion on slipways while launching for racing by launching early and not standing around chatting on the slipways. Please continue to check-in (and out) on your phone or the kiosk at the club entrance.

Crewed Boats: We have enabled the crew-finder option for the races, but please read the RYA Guidance on Mixed Household Sailing

Race Officers: The crows nest is 'automated' so - hopefully - a single person (or a household) can run the race from the crows nest. It is a handicap race and so times do need recorded and numbers of laps. Instructions for the automated system will be shared in advance of your slot and are in the crows nest. Please wipe down surfaces in the crows nest before and after your session. Please volunteer for a race officer slot if you can. If there is no race officer, no races will happen.

Crew needed and available
