The Royal Fowey Yacht Club is excited to announce the Club Racing Virtual Regatta (Inshore), a thrilling winter racing event designed for all the armchair racers out there. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from RYA, this event is available to all interested players as a free app. However, for those looking for an extra speed boost, additional features can be purchased to enhance the racing experience.
To participate, all racers need to do is download the app on their smartphones, iPads, or computers and take some time to familiarise themselves with its functionalities through a bit of practice. Once they feel confident and ready to go, they can compete head-to-head against sailors from across the globe in a range of exciting categories such as Lasers, Stars, 49ers, J70s, and many more.
The races for the Club Racing Virtual Regatta (Inshore) are organised by our dedicated group on Monday evenings at 20:00. To keep everyone in the loop and ensure a fun and lively atmosphere, racing instructions are shared via Whats App. And guess what? We've even got a fantastic option for racers to join in on the banter through Zoom, adding a social touch to the whole event.
This virtual regatta is open to anyone with a passion for sailing, regardless of whether they are already a member of the Royal Fowey Yacht Club or not. We believe that sailing is a sport that should be accessible to all, and this event perfectly embodies that principle.
Curious to know who claimed victory in our recent Spring Series 2? Well, we're thrilled to congratulate our top three winners! In first place, we have Patrick Seylor Macpad. Coming in at a close second is Alex Mackay, known as AlexM, and rounding out our podium is John Chambers, sailing under the name Crystal Meth. Kudos to all of these talented racers!
