Racing

We plan to undertake a full season of dinghy racing this year. Starting on May 8th and running over 15 Sunday afternoons until mid October we will be using the Portsmouth handicap system to encourage as many boats as possible from our fleet to enter. As this will be our first season’s racing we’d like as many members as possible to join in – don’t feel that you need to have any racing experience to get involved. Club boats are available for those without their own.

There will be prizes for the best adult and best U-18 crews with results taken from your best 8 races (so you don’t need to commit to every weekend over the summer). Our calendar on the website shows when races are planned to take place. Please email jkinsley@sailporty.org.uk with details of your boat and names of crew (indicating whether adult or U-18) if you’d like to take part.

Participants should arrive around 1.30 and there will be a race briefing about 2pm on each occasion.

After spending the start of the season training up some more volunteers for our Rescue Boat rota as well as Assistant Instructors we are now eager to start our sailing season in earnest with our first ever PSKC dinghy race on 8th May. Please see our dinghy racing page for more details. To celebrate we will be having a barbecue at the club after the race. All members are invited.
