Sailing Calendar 2026
Key points to note about the calendar.
As discussed at the sailing meeting the starts vary depending on the state of the tide. The tides highlighted in orange indicate particularly high tides. Some cup races have been added to a Saturday to entice the social sailors to have a go as well as regular sailors and to also allow the possibility of a small or big social on the Saturday evening. There are also 8 races in each of the series to allow the discard of 2 races for each sailor.
