The days are getting longer, warmer (and a bit windier) signalling spring is on it’s way. That means its time to get your entries in for our 2023-24 season. The Sailing Committee have a jam-packed season planned, with something for everyone.
Our season starts with the Interclub series – where keelboats, trailer yachts, sports boats and multihulls from three clubs compete against each other for the Europa Cup this year. Three opening days, two divisions (spinnaker and non-spinnaker) and one trophy. Race dates are: Sunday 24 September Lowry Bay, Saturday 30 September Evans Bay and our own Opening Day Saturday 7 October.
The top club will be determined by the top 3 scoring boats from each club, for each race, with the winning club have the best score across the series. Entry for the Interclub Series is free, so enter now to ensure Port Nic has the best chance to get bragging rights for the season ahead! It’s free to enter here.
And for the serious racers don’t forget to enter the full championship season – inshore and/or offshore. Our inshore championship racing starts with the spring series from October 28. Enter here. If you enter the full championship inshore season, you will be entered into all club inshore racing – including the Rum Series, and by ticking a box on the form, you’re also entered into the Interclub Series (that’s free) – it doesn’t get much easier than that! Barton Marine is back as our offshore sponsor – with 7 races programmed, starting with Brothers Island race in December. Full programme details are available here.
Don’t forget to come along and get the low-down on the season ahead, at our pre-season briefing on Wednesday 20th September – 18:00 in the wardroom.
So, no excuses – get your credit card ready and get those entries in and we’ll see you on the water!
