The Thomson Long Distance race will be held this Saturday, 2 October.
The first signal at 11:00. There will be a brief skippers meeting at 10:00.
This race was established in 1966 by the Commodore at the time, Arthur Thomson, and is an important part of the tradition of the club as well as being a very enjoyable sail.
All keelboats are welcome to participate, and a prize is awarded to the first boat on corrected time. The prestigious Thomson Trophy itself will be awarded to the first “cruising boat” on corrected time. For a reminder of the review that was conducted last year of the definition of eligible boats for the Thomson Trophy, follow this link.
Sailing instructions will be posted on the club website.
