Racing this weekend includes the Portsalon Bells, start time 10:00 on Saturday, kindly sponsored again this year by Tullamore Dew.
Please note that the scheduled race from Portsalon on Sunday 27 May has been CANCELLED.
A White Sail race will be scheduled on Saturday if there are more than two yachts who wish to compete in this class.
Alternatively, yachts may elect to race without a spinnaker in Club Class using their White Sail handicap, as published in the clubhouse and on the web-site. Yachts must notify the OD by VHF to request this.
Yachts are requested to take their own finish times and record these on the Race Declaration Form, to be submitted to the Sailing Secretary after racing. Race Declaration Forms are available from the Downloads section of the web-site.
