Sailing Activities Details 2020

     All races will start on time; races will not be delayed because competitors are not ready.
     The 14:00 activity will be Training, a Fun activity, Cruising (TFC) or a Pursuit race with emphasis on giving less experienced members a better sailing experience. With a Pursuit race a boat CANNOT be given a start unless signed on at least 15 minutes before the race start, the slowest boat plus helm (highest PB + PH) will start first and the fastest last; a boats finish place is their place when the race ends which must be held until it has been recorded.
    Wednesday afternoon Sailing will be from 15:30 starting on 6 May and ending on 30 September; the bar will open when sailing finishes.
    The Cundy Trophy long distance race will take place, on a day when the weather is suitable, concurrent with a scheduled Sunday afternoon race.
