Long distance 6 - Around the Lights

HW 12:37 (8.92m) Narlwood Rocks

The Around the Lights race is a long-distance race and usually includes all of the upriver channel markers. These include: Counts, Ledges, Hill Flats and Haywards.

The typical course is: Counts (S), Ledges (P), Haywards (S), Hill Flats (S), Counts (P).

All boats start together in a single start.

Times are recorded as boats cross the normal club finishing line and results are calculated in the normal way.

Long distance races are generally best suited to experienced sailors with good knowledge of the river. Conditions can be challenging and support boat cover, although provided, cannot be relied upon to provide assistance as it is spread thinly along the river and may be helping another participant. If in doubt, seek guidance from the OOD before taking part.
