RLymYC Team Racing
A continuing club initiative is to run monthly informal and instructive team racing sessions. The aim is to introduce interested dinghy sailors to team racing, bring on new talent and for the more experienced team racers to share their knowledge and re-fresh their skills. Everyone will participate together in mixed ability teams in a squad format.
Sessions will consist of informal racing with one or two flights of boats. Boats will be provided (there may be a small fee to cover club boat hire); we’ll be using Scows and RS Fevas. Matched teams will be formed from the squad of sailors on the day. Expect to switch in and out on the water, sail with different people from different classes and to observe racing in a support-RIB when not racing.

If you are interested in joining in, registration will open soon. Please tell us about any previous team-racing experience so we can balance teams out for each session and so we all get the best racing and learning experience on the water. We would also be delighted to have support from those not wishing to sail themselves but who are knowledgeable team-racing umpires or coaches who would like to help the squad progress.
Initially, spaces are limited to 18 and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis, but we will endeavour to expand this should we get enough demand.
Additionally, to obtain ratings, you can visit the Rating Office in Lymington, led by Captain John Turner.

heard what our members says
“Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!”
“On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.”
“We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!”
“On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!”
“The Burns Night was brilliant! Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success! Everything was perfect!”
“I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.”
