The CHPSC Tremadog Triangle is a 'Top Gear' style challenge - which you can attempt at any time in the CHPSC racing season - from 1st March to 1st December.
You can enter the IRC Class (for Racing Boats) or YTC/NHC Class (for Cruisers) see definition below. There will be prizes for both Classes.
There is no limit to the number of attempts on the Challenge - why not see if you can beat your own time!
The course can be sailed clockwise or anti-clockwise (the choice is yours) using the club marks as follows:
- Anti-Clockwise - Start, 2p, 8p, 10p Finish
- Clockwise - Start, 10s, 8s, 2s, Finish
The start and finish lines are not as defined in the CHPSC Sailing Instructions which are amended below for convenience.
Start
The start line is defined as follows:
The Start Line is a transit between the white mast with an orange top section on the foreshore and the ODM (mark O). The seaward end of the line is bounded by an ODM (mark 0). Boats shall cross this line in the direction of the first mark of the course, to start.' This amends CHPSC SI's 10.2
Finish
The finish line is defined as follows:
The Finish Line is a transit between the white mast with an orange top section on the foreshore and the ODM (mark O). Boats shall cross this line in the direction from the last mark of the course, to finish.' This amends CHPSC SI's 11.1
