The Steamer 150 minute pursuit race is taking place this year on 15th January at Starcross YC and is open to all Monohulls. After last year's record entry of 94 boats the club hopes that last year's visitors will want to repeat the experience. Although they can't guarantee sunshine like last year they can assure you of good racing on estuary courses.
It is an early start (10:00) this year to catch the tide so if you want to travel down the night before and leave the boat at the club please get in touch so they can open the gate for you.
Although the Steamer is not part of the Sailjuice series, we have decided to adopt the same set of PYs as the other big winter events to provide some consistency. The Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and PY list are available from the club website www.starcrossyc.org.uk/openmeeting - you will also find maps and links to accommodation.
If you are thinking of going to the Steamer please use the online entry form to give us your details - no payment is required - it just helps the race team get your details into our results system.
If you have any questions please contact John Donovan at
