As mentioned in our last racing update, the bank holiday weekend racing will be a joint racing weekend, incorporating the SCYC Spring regatta, for some great racing and socialising together.
Racing will be using the YTC handicap for cruisers rather than the usual racing handicap of IRC, so that everyone can easily join in, cruisers and racers alike. If you haven’t got a YTC cert you will need to apply - don’t worry, it’s free and doesn’t take long! If you need help, please contact us and we’ll be able to point you in the right direction.
We plan to start with a short race in Pwllheli on Saturday, starting at 12:35 (comms on VHF Ch17). After that we’ll start you on your way to Abersoch, racing from the PSC Gimblet rock start line and finishing on the SCYC finish line so you are able to pick up a mooring as soon as finished and head into the bar for results. You will need to liaise directly with SCYC for mooring allocation during the regatta.
To assist with organisation, please contact us to let us know your interest in joining the regatta and let us know which days you intend to race. We can then arrange for you to be added to the SCYC racing group (if not already in) and send you the relevant racing instructions and course details.
Please try and support this event. Whether you join the regatta for one day, the whole weekend or just one race, it is sure to be a great weekend and an opportunity to enjoy socialising with fellow sailors round at Abersoch or at Plas Heli.
