Key Events for 2010

The RDYC calendar for 2010:

CRUISING AND RACING PROGRAMME

The Club’s cruising and racing calendar incorporates events that were popular last year and the young helm award which is designed to encourage ‘new blood’. It has been coordinated with the race programmes of Weymouth SC, Castle Cove SC and RNSA and takes into account the Club’s traditions of an early Spring cruise to the Solent and our Cherbourg Race-Rally in late May. The Club owns beautiful trophies (see trophy list below) which should encourage members to compete, whether experienced or new to cruising and racing.

Whilst every effort is made to adhere to this programme, some changes during the year are inevitable. Please check the Club’s website and notice board for the latest information. Schedule of dates:
