This year we are doing it a bit differently and we are hosting the event over 2 days - This Sunday HPYC will manage the race, and on 11th August we will reciprocate. The racing on Sunday will take place near the pier to showcase to our town how brilliant sailing is. We therefore need you all to come out in force to retain the title! Club boats can be used if you don't have your own. There is also a cadet trophy. The winning Herne Bay Boat will be the recipient of the Toucan Trophy which is also being competed for during this event. Notice of Race is attached. Racing starts at 1pm for 2 back to back races, briefing at 12 noon in the club house. 3rd August - Taster dayDiscover Sailing/Push The Boat Out/Taster Day - Call it what you want but this is about getting new members - We have quite a few interested in sailing on this day and therefore need a team!

They are not a formal means of communication but nonetheless, very useful to share interests and chit-chat.
