Racing

Racing commences in April and runs through until October each year.

There are two areas of focus:

Club Racing for dayboats (Sonars, Garelochs and Pipers) is run in the Gareloch on Tuesday evenings with some additional Sunday races for the Gareloch Class. These are divided up into a number of series and although always hotly contested the racing is always in good spirit.

The Club also co-organises East Patch Racing with HSC. The East Patch is in the central Firth of Clyde loosely bound by Helensburgh, Kilcreggan, Gourock and Ardmore Point, with a permanent start mark near the “Sugar Ship”. There are Spring and Autumn Sunday Series but probably best known are the Wednesday night series. East Patch Racing starts for handicap, IRC, Sonars and Sonatas.

In addition to the aforementioned regular racing, the Club regularly hosts other annual regattas and open and championship events. Highlights for the 2012 season will be announced shortly.
