Barfoot & Thompson Rum Race 5 - Friday 20 February

Friday Night Fun Race

Kick off your weekends on the water with a pursuit sail and some friendly rivalry.

No GHYC or YNZ membership required; everyone's welcome.
Relaxed racing; just a main and headsails (no extras)
Simple triangle course; length and direction determined by the weather
Staggered start times; no challenging start lines - smaller/slower boats starting first, with the aim of having all boats finishing around the same time.

First start time at 1700

Back to THE CLUB afterwards for day prizes, a well-earned meal & drink and lots of socialising.

Go on give it a go! We'd love to see you out there making the most of summer evenings on the water.
