Sunday racing is a key part of our sailing calendar, providing a mix of competitive racing and social sailing for members of all abilities. Schedule - Start Time: Racing begins promptly at 11:00 AM. - Number of Races: We aim for three back-to-back fleet races OR a single 90 minute pursuit race Race Management - Course Setting: Courses are typically set and displayed from the committee boat, ensuring varied and challenging racing. - Race Formats: Sunday racing features either handicap fleet races with a single start, or a pursuit race where the slowest boats start first and the faster boats try to catch them. See the club calendar for details. Participation - Eligibility: All full sailing members are welcome to race. Visiting sailors may be granted temporary membership for the day. - Sign-On Procedure: Competitors must sign-on online prior to racing ( https://www.drsc.co.uk/page/sign-on-for-club-racing) - Boats: You can sail any monohull non-foiling dinghy with a valid Great Lakes handicap. Other craft may be raced with prior approval of the sailing committee.
