Racing Detail

Each event consists of 4 races, one loop, two M Courses and a handicapped race with the slower finishing boats starting with a time advantage in the fourth and final race of the day.

Note: Club 500 racing whilst not a contact sport does involve a little 'bumping and banging' so we highly recommend your boat has additional floation aids fitted.
