Racing

Introduction

The club has an active race section which competes most Wednesday evenings during the lighter summer months and on Sunday mornings year-round.

Racing is a great way to develop your skills with friendly and exciting competition on the loch.

We aim to have one race on a Wednesday evening and two on a Sunday morning.

Organisation

Club members take it in turns to organise the race, man the committee boat, set the course and record the results.

Safety boats are provided by the Park

Sunday Racing

Each Sunday will have two General Handicap races based on PY numbers. PY numbers may be adjusted for spinnaker dinghies if members choose not to
use their spinnaker throughout a series.

We will run four Sunday series over 23/24 –

• Spring Series – Sunday 26th February till Sunday 28th May
• Summer Series – Sunday 11th June till Sunday 27th August
• Autumn Series – Sunday 3rd September till Sunday 26th November
• Winter Series – Sunday 3rd December until February 18th 2024

The Club Championship will be based on the best aggregate results for a competitor over the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Sunday Series.

Wednesday Racing

On Wednesday evenings between April and September we run two Pursuit Series.

• Series 1 – Wednesday 5th April until Wednesday 28th June
• Series 2 – Wednesday 5th July till Wednesday 13th September

Wednesday evenings will have one Pursuit Race of 1 hour starting at 1830 hrs.  These races will be based on personal handicaps with the handicaps being
adjusted at the end of each month.

Benefits of Club Racing

It is a great way to meet people and helps develop sailing skills.

If you’ve never raced before why not come along and give it a go.
