Getting into racing

Webinar Recording

Two sailboats with different sail patterns are sailing in the ocean under a sunny sky with clouds and birds flying overhead.

Have you got the urge to do more with your cruising yacht? Do you have a competitive streak which makes you wish you were joining the boats heading out for Sunday morning racing? Perhaps you’re on the lookout for a one off event like the Round the Island Race to take part in as a family?

Taking those first steps into racing your boat can seem daunting and will often come with a whole host of questions about the practicalities of getting your boat safely across the start line of your first race. Questions such as “Do I need to get an expensive handicap rating?” (the answer is no!).

To help you make sure you don’t find yourself left behind at the first mark, our expert Rob Gibson, author of the RYA book “Racing for Yachts & Keelboats” and Principal Sailing Instructor at Poole Sailing will help guide you through the entire process, from getting your boat ready and registering for a race, to making it across the finish line.
