Racing
Cruiser racing at Portchester Sailing Club is open to any club member regardless of previous racing experience whether you would like to skipper your own boat or crew for others . There are plenty of helpful sailors who will be pleased to offer help and advice to get you started if you are interested but unsure.
Please contact cruisers@portchestersc.org if you are interested in racing but not yet registered .
The seasons racing generally consists of the following series:
Evening Series - We aim to have approximately 10 evening races throughout the season (tides allowing). It is a great way to get out on the water while the sun is setting behind the castle and enjoy a bit of racing. Trophies are awarded to the winners at the end of the season.
Trophy Races - There are several trophy races throuhout the season organised at Portchester including:
Cruiser Open
Solstice Race
Vectis Race
Supercup
Combined Harbour Regatta
Rum Rum
Most of these races are at the weekends.
Interclub Races- There is an Interclub series each year organised in conjuction with Hardway and Fareham sailing club which gives the opportunity for cruiser sailors to race against boats from other clubs. The results are collected and each year there is a winning club.
For an overview of the scheduled races please see the Event calander or navigate from the menu to Cruisers > Race Instructions & Guides.
