The Plym Yacht Club hosts several events such as the Friday Night Series (I and II),
the Keith Hyde Memorial Race (Long Distance Race), the Plym Yacht Club Regatta, the
Plymouth Inshore Points Series and Saturday Afternoon Autumn Series (specifically
aimed at cruisers in PY Divisions A, B and C). Last year the moonlight race was resurrected
after a number of absence years, usually after one of the Friday evening racesThe
races generally take place in Plymouth Sound, utilizing various buoys as markers
to race around. The racing can be challenging as the bay is somewhat sheltered, and
at times there is a dying incoming sea breeze that is heading in a different direction
from the upcoming evening breeze off the land. Tidal considerations also confuse
the issue further. Most of the fleet consists of Portsmouth Yardstick Divisions 2A,
2B, and 2C but there is also an IRC class if enough boats present themselves. Class
size and handicap split varies depending on entry, but can peak at around 17 -
The best way to enter events is to come to the club house and get an entry form and a Yearbook, which has all of the instructions on payment of the fee. You can download the FORMS HERE
