Yachts: Yarmouth & Back Race – The Ian Brunt Trophy

The Yarmouth and back race is usually the most popular race of the year.

HW Chi is 13:58, so we currently plan an 13:15 start at Chi to make best use of the westward tide. There will be the usual pontoon party and prize giving, followed by group dinner in the Wheatsheaf. On Sunday we will be up with the sparrows to catch the tide home to Chichester. Any boat that would like to take part in the race is welcome – you do not need to be an experienced racer to take part. Think of it as a cruise with a bit of competition thrown in.

As usual, compressive cruising notes will be sent around before the cruise. Anyone who has not been on one of our competitive cruises before and is dauted by the term ‘race’ please don’t be. If you would like to ask any questions before signing up please give James a call or drop an email to racing.yachts.cyc@gmail.com

Booking will open June 1, 2023
