Yachts : Cowes & Return Peter Buttery Plate Race / Cruise
The Peter Buttery Trophy is the opening event of the CYC fun race calendar, and as usual it will be to Cowes on Saturday and return on Sunday. Our overnight berthing will be in Cowes Yacht Haven with dinner ashore for those who wish to join the group. A dinner booking will be made once we have a better idea of the numbers.
HW Portsmouth is 17:30 on Sat, which will make the passage more interesting than usual! So I propose a start time of around 15:30, to be confirmed nearer the time. HW Portsmouth Sunday is 18:44; so another pm start for home, but at least the tide should be with us.
As this is the first cruise-race event of the season, a reminder that, as always, any boat that would like to take part is welcome – you do not need to be an experienced racer or have a “racy” boat to take part. In fact the competitive part is optional, so cruising-only entrants are very welcome. But if you would like to try our competitive cruising, just be in the vicinity of Chi Buoy at 15:30! As usual, we will hold a briefing in the club at 2100 on Friday.
