Get Ready for the Corporate Challenge

Next week, Tuesday 22 June, the HYC Corporate Challenge is your opportunity to share your racing passion with your colleagues, as well as showing the other companies what you're made of.  Start recruiting a crew from your workplace today.

The Corporate Challenge will be held in conjunction with the normal white sail races, with teams sailing within their respective classes. The warning signal for the first race will be at 19:00. Participants in the Corporate Challenge should display a white ribbon from their backstay and notify the Race Committee prior to the start. Prizes will be awarded in the bar following racing to the winning team in each class.   

Special note: to qualify, crews need to consist of employees of the company (you can't just rename your regular crew and pretend you all work for the same corporation!).
