Our Spring Series for cruiser racers and one-design keelboats runs on four Sunday mornings. SEE ALL SPRING SERIES RACING IMAGES HERE
For 2023 all yachts that are not racing in IRC or one-design classes i.e. those cruiser racers competing in the adjusted handicap classes will need to have a YTC handicap. Commencing with the Spring Series on Sunday 2nd April and applying equally to the TEK series, there will continue to be a “Lymington Adjusted” handicap, last year called NHC. However, for 2023 YTC ratings will be the standard base rating for each boat from the start. Anyone sailing in this class must please obtain a YTC rating for their boat, before racing. The YTC application is simply achieved by online application and all the measured data required should be easily available without the need for measurement. Please obtain your YTC rating as soon as possible. To help you, there are two tools to guide you through the application process. Please download them below:

In addition to the Official Notice Board, the Organising Authority may send messages to competitors and support persons via the Event Messaging System, Telegram. Telegram is similar to WhatsApp but has better privacy (phone numbers are not public), does not limit groups to 150 people and allows new arrivals to see existing messages. Please download Telegram for your Smart Phone and/or Laptop prior to the event from the links on https://telegram.org Then join the groups for the Spring Series below by following the links: Broadcast: Messages from the Organising Authority and Race Committee:
