Egeria and Tall Ships - Windeward Bound, Lady Nelson, Rhona H and Yukon around the below course to show off their sails and join together to celebrate the wooden boat community.

Sunday 7th February 2021

1100 - The fleet to assemble off the John Garrow Light.
1130 - The MYCT's Launch, Egeria will make a sound signal to indicate the official start of the Parade of Sail and head along a course that takes the boats past Wrest Point, then across to Rosny Point (overtaking the Egeria is considered poor form).

1315 - The fleet to have cleared the start/finish line in readiness for the commencement of the Regatta's afternoon sailing program.
