Racing

For many sailors, the exhilaration experienced from racing really gets the heart beating.

It is great fun to be on the start line with a group of yachts all trying to be in the best position to be first across as the gun goes!

Racing involves lots of skill and tactics, but most important is the team work and camaraderie of the crew on board.

Our Programme for 2012 includes:

J80 World Championship Campaign!
A 'once in a lifetime experience'- racing at World Championship level!

We are offering a limited number of places to join our campaign which will include being on the start line amongst some 70 other J80's at the J80 world championships in Dartmouth in June 2012!

Keelboat Racing 2012
One design rules ensure that racing our J80 is fair and very close!

Great fun, highly exhilarating and a fantastic way to sharpen up your sailing! We race Wairua, our J80 throughout the season- come and join us!

Round the Island Race 28 June-01 July 2012
A full day of training before heading to Cowes for final preparations, for what is one of the highlights of the yachting calendar.

Cowes Week 2012 11-19 August
Join us for a fusion of competitive sailing and social activitie. You can come for one day of racing or more....

Womens Racing
How do you fancy a very special opportunity to do some racing with an all female crew?

It is great fun and very exhilarating since there are very few yachts that are raced entirely by women.

One of Womens Racing events is the Women's Open Keelboat Championship (Date to be confirmed for 2012) This race based from the Hamble is great fun- the only all women racing championship event in the UK.

Join us as we race our J80 amongst other cruising and racing yachts of all sizes.

Koru-our racing yacht
Koru is a Beneteau First 36.7 cruiser/racer. She is classy, spacious and totally gorgeous to sail. For racing she has a number 1 and number 3 carbon fibre genoa, a fully battened main sail plus a conventional spinnaker.

She was built in 2002 and was originally privately owned, so her condition is A1. Koru is fully coded to enable us to use her for teaching and she sleeps 6 in 3 cabins and the saloon.
