The Ro yal Lymington Yacht Club is very proud to be hosting the 2014 Edinburgh Cup. This year's event will see both a return to a more traditional Edinburgh Cup format and the introduction of an exciting new additional race series. This is an event for all Dragon owners and the British Dragon Association looks forward to welcoming teams from across the UK and overseas to race for this most historic and prestigious of trophies.
Racing will take place on full championship courses in open water with minimal tidal influence. Courses will be laid in Christchurch Bay with the option to race in the more sheltered Western Solent in the event of poor weather. Boats will be moored on marina pontoon berths and entry includes launching and recovery (there will be a discounted rate for boats sailing to the event and not requiring launching/recovery).
Alongside the formal Edinburgh Cup racing, which will incorporate the Corinthian competition for all amateur crews and the traditional Crews Race, there will also be an optional second handicap racing series entitled the Chairman's Decanter, featuring three races in which everyone has a chance to win. The handicap system will favour older boats, and penalise boats with professionals and helms that have done well in previous Edinburgh Cup and International races. The helm in the Chairman's Decanter series can be different from that in the Edinburgh Cup giving a chance for other crew members to “have a go".
The fun social programme will be centered on the Royal Lymington Yacht Club's delightful riverside clubhouse which has stunning views over the Lymington River and out across the New Forest and to the Isle of Wight. Please see the event social form on the right hand side for more details.
Thanks to generous sponsorship from Williams Shipping there will also be a heavily discounted entry fee is being offered to the oldest boats entering.
