Club Racing Survey - Summer 2020

Spinnaker has been running a personal handicap pursuit race on a Wednesday Evening and Sunday afternoon for some weeks now. We know that some sailors prefer the spread out start times of the pursuit race.

We are now aiming to expand the racing by starting a handicap race (one start for all) on Wednesdays at 5.45pm on 22 July. Assuming that throws up no issues, we plan to run two races on a Sunday afternoon from the start of August. We would like to canvas your views on what sort of racing you would prefer. If the personal handicap pursuit race is chosen, it will be adjusted for Sundays so that there are two races with the slower boats (Optimists, Toppers, Mirrors and Fevas) starting later and racing for a maximum of 45 minutes.
