E-mail Print PDF

The Begin Racing series is SYC's scheme for introducing (or reintroducing) sailors to racing at the club.  The series is run on nine saturday's through the season with several races each day and briefings by experienced racing sailors from the club.  If you are interested in trying racing in an informal environment please come along and try one of the sessions.  The series is open to any member with their own boat (or hiring a club boat) who can handle their boat competently in a force 3 wind.
