30 April - 2 May 2011
The third annual Langstone Harbour Race Weekend, 30th April – 2nd May is hosted by three sailing clubs which share the waters of Langstone Harbour; Locks SC, Tudor SC, and Langstone SC.
The event invites dinghy sailors from all across the south coast and beyond to compete in the series of exciting races held within the harbour. This year there is a different race format, with two races per day on the Saturday and Sunday, using simple 'Olympic' style courses. The final race on Monday will be a longer affair, using navigation marks around the harbour.
It's not just about racing!
Each club hosts a social event over the weekend (included in the entry fee) and there is something to suit everyone's tastes. Friday evening Tudor SC will start the weekend off with registration and a briefing before laying on an evening meal and live music. Locks SC follow of the Saturday evening with a BBQ and Langstone SC take their turn on Sunday night with food and a pub quiz. The weekend is rounded off on Monday afternoon with afternoon tea and a prize giving ceremony at Tudor SC.
We are really lucky to have such loyal supporters and sponsors, who typically donate some wonderful prizes. The organisers try to award these throughout the fleets, with prizes given not only to those who stand on the podium.
The event normally enjoys entries of 60+ boats, with a cap of 100 boats placed on the event.
The NOR and online entry is now available from the event website.
