Congratulations to the TBYC Endeavour 2022 winners, Allen Burrell & Paul Beasley in Bluejacket. Thank you to Wes Absolom and Harrison Floyd for officiating the race and dealing with the challenging light conditions. Special thanks to all of the Sandhopper owners that gave their boats so readily for the race and then supported today and the fantastic volunteers as ever. There was some great close racing in some challenging conditions and multiple winners in the races today, proving how close the competition was!

The RNLI Pursuit Race has a different start time for each class of boat, starting from 13:30 and finishes two hours later at 15:30 . The idea is the boats should all finish about the same time based on their PN classification.
If you want to enter and your boat class is not listed below please contact me at [email protected] by 10am on Friday to get a start time.
The idea of the race is to support the RNLI and a collection box will be on the club bar for entrants (and anyone) to donate whatever they like.
