Royal Lymington Yacht Club Spring Series

Royal Lymington Yacht Club Spring Series Royal Lymington Yacht Club http://www.rlymyc.org.uk
As the axis of the earth increases its tilt towards the sun, daylight increases and our hemisphere warms. Spring has arrived, and sailing must start with the Royal Lymington Yacht Club's Spring Series

The series will start on the 27th March for four consecutive Sundays, with two races each morning. On the first Sunday we will have the Olympic coach Cathy Foster reviewing the racing and then running a 'video wash up' session in the Club House afterwards. Always a chastening experience but well worth watching!

The racing will be organised with separate committee boats for the start and finish; this will minimise delays between the end of your first race and the start of the second thus ensuring an intense morning’s racing and a return in time for lunch. Is there a better way to start the year’s sailing programme?

There will be classes for IRC, Lymington Handicap, Folkboat and RS Elites, with the first start scheduled for 09.30.

Records tumble in the Antigua 360
