RTYC2022 YEARBOOK

club racing
Get involved in club racing
Competitive, but convivial club racing takes place
on Wednesday evenings, Sunday mornings and
some Saturdays, with the crews heading to the
bar afterwards to discuss the day's successes
and disappointments. As always there are some
changes to the format and racing opportunities;
this year is no exception. The racing programme
runs from April to New Year’s Day and full details
can be found on Pages 14 – 16.
We offer a range of racing for IRC Yachts, Cruisers,
Sportsboats, SB20s, PY Dinghies and Junior Classes.
Owning a boat is not a requirement, with new crews
always sought-after. The first port of call if you wish
to get involved will be our friendly fleet captains.
They are experienced sailors and will be able to
guide you, whether you want to dip a toe or expand
the fleet.
New this year Jubilee Club Regatta for all classes
on Sunday 7th August a celebration of the Queen’s
Platinum Jubilee Year, a day of club racing with up to
four races followed by prizegiving and social.
The ever-popular Wednesday Evening series for
all classes continues in the established and proven
format with 23 races over 3 series and a Crews Race
on July 29th. See Page 16 for further details. Sailing
suppers in the club are always available after racing.
PY Dinghies – will be racing on Sunday mornings,
in addition to Wednesday evenings. Dinghy sailors
can look forward to competitive racing with the
energy and enthusiasm of the growing numbers
of Laser Radials, our Youth sailors and new boats
joining the fleet.
