Races in Red - These trophy events will be run using small, short courses and a number of back to back races, with all race positions counting to the entrant's overall position.
Class Points - 4 will be held within the Class Racing on the Sunday of the Club's Regatta Weekend.
CADET & OTTER RACING: Any race that attracts three or more craft helmed by a Cadet or Otter will be deemed a race in its own right, with a separate start time, course and trophy. A separate Topper race will be held, when the 3-in-1 race is underway, for the Spirit of the Wind Trophy, starting at 11:10.
SOCIAL SAILING: Every Tuesday morning, between 5 May and 22 September, there will be informal social sailing (weather permitting), from a 10:00 arrival. Please note there will be no safety boats and it is at the discretion of each dinghy owner whether they take to the water.
