On Sunday 19th January 2020 Starcross Yacht Club will be holding the 30th Exe Sails Starcross Steamer Pursuit race, the first start will be at 12 noon.

The event is open to all monohull dinghies with a Great Lakes handicap number less than or equal to that of an International Cadet and greater than or equal to a 49er.

The race for the slowest boat will be for 150 minutes. The galley will be open for breakfast at 8:00 and food and drink will be available all day.

The racing is held in the sheltered Exe estuary just off the club house and only extreme weather conditions prevent us from sailing.

This event is part of the the Sailing South West Winter Series. See www.sailingsw.co.uk/ssw-winter-series for more information.
