Enjoy non-competitive pursuit sailing on Tuesday Summer evenings, for all keelboats. Each boat has a start time based on its handicap, with the slowest boats starting first.

Dinghy and catamaran Wednesday night racing starts July 29. Everyone on the boat must be in the same social circle. Perfect event for any type of catamaran or dinghy. The small-boat fleets are very happy to help new boats learn to race – get in touch.
Update: These marks will be removed at end of Wednesday 22 July. Original notice: We have placed inflatable marks just North of the NSC channel, for boaters to self-practice. Each mark is an inflatable orange or yellow tetrahedron.

Updated 19 July 2020: instructions are posted. Monday evening keelboats for womens teams will start on Monday 20 July. Spinnaker optional. Coach-on-board optional. Time trial format, similar to the existing Thursday time trials.

These time trials will…
