Our club ambassador Pip Hare pushing hard in her preparation for the big race in NovemberYesterday I did something that ten years ago I never could have imagined myself doing.

Upon arrival at the RWYC competitors were welcomed by the flags hanging loosely and only a zephyr of breeze from a southerly direction.This content isn't available at the moment
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.Great photos from Paul of the weekends RC1000 regatta, today was more hectic with the fleet combined with our Autumn Series Racing. Great work from Race Management team, all volunteers, sponsors and bar team to make it a great weekend on the water
Timeline PhotosToday we remember one of the founding fathers of the OSTAR race. On 26th August 1972, Sir Francis Chichester died in Plymouth. Francis Chichester in this picture was departing Plymouth in the first OSTAR race in 1960. He finished first after 40.5 days.
