Topic: ECPR - 3rd and 4th July - One month to go Posted: 04 Jun 10 at 9:19am |
This year’s East Coast Piers Race, hosted by Marconi Sailing Club will be over the weekend of the 3rd and 4th July. Camping is available free of charge from Friday through to Monday, the galley and bar will also be open all weekend. About the Race Probably the longest established long distance race in the country, for twenty two years the East Coast Piers Race has attracted top continental sailors, and development classes, along with the cream of big cat sailors. However, the East Coast Piers Race isn't just for big cats - a shorter, but no less demanding course (known as The Colne Point Race) is always available for smaller cats. The course is marked with cruiser "mother ships" flying orange flags, and quite easy for first timers. It is a challenge, but a manageable one. You sail from the start of Osea Pier, down the Blackwater Estuary to Bradwell, across the Estuary, and then along the coast passing Clacton Pier and turning at Walton Pier. The shorted course turns at Colne Point making the race 29 miles rather than 50. Last Year’s Race Although last year’s race was a bit of a challenge due to the interesting weather conditions we still managed to raise over £18,000 for charity and put on a race. We really can’t do this without the support of our sponsors and the competitors, so thank you. For more details on the race and the latest information check out the event website. Please note that age restrictions apply and certain safety equipment must be carried by each boat and its crew. |
