Plastic Fleet - Races
So if you have completed the plastic course, this is a series of 3 races to help put your skills into practice. Other Novice or improver sailors are encouraged to join in to add to the competition.
The first 2 events are held in the familiar surrounds of Thorney channel.
However, If you have wondered what it is like to go racing out in the deeper water beyond the limits of Thorney Channel .. then come along to the Near harbour race at the end of the season, and lets venture out together. The waves are a little larger, the distance between marks is a lot longer and the race will also last longer .. but because everyone will be in boats of similar speed, no one will get separated and there will be lots of close battles within the fleet. As usual there will be full safety support on hand throughout.
The aim is to give a progression for PF sailors who haven't ventured out of the channel .. just a taste of what is out there, take away the fear factor, and maybe give you the confidence to go on and have a try at a long course race.
