Join us on Commodore’s Day (Sat 16th September) for a fun and family friendly pursuit race – the Commodore’s Chase!
- Entrants will be given a start time based on their base NHC handicap number.
- The faster your boat, the later you start.
- Simply start at your allocated time and sail the course.
- The first boat back to Upnor Line wins the Commodore’s Chase.
- Free cream tea and prize giving at 16.30.
The start line will be down river and all boats will start between 14.00 and 14.30. The location of the line will be announced on VHF 37 (M1) in good time for you to get there.
There’ll be additional prizes for best dressed boat, best dressed crew, and first boat back sailed by a family.
To enter email us with your NHC base number and we’ll issue you a start time. If your boat is not on the base list, let us know and we’ll get you a number.
