Calling all Laser sailors in and around the South Coast. Keyhaven Yacht Club will be running its round of the South Coast Laser Grand Prix on Saturday 11th May.

Racing starts after lunch and the current forecast is for between 13-17kts, so its ideal conditions for all rigs. If you have not yet sailed in the remarkable corner of the Solent, this is the perfect opportunity to find out what it's like to race alongside the historic Hurst Castle and under the watchful eye of the Isle of Wight. If you are part of the ever faithful sailing support teams out there, why not hop on the local Keyhaven River ferry up to Hurst Castle and watch the racing from the spit.

To those returning to Keyhaven YC once more, the home sailors look forward to welcoming you back.

There will be bacon or sausage rolls available to purchase on arrival plus complimentary morning coffee and biscuits from the Members Galley Lunch will be available to purchase for consumption before launching and afternoon tea after racing.

  • 3 races, back-to-back
