25th - 27th September
Yarmouth
Race or rally, it's up to you.
Come and meet friends for a relaxing weekend in Yarmouth to round off the rather truncated 2020 Solent Gaffers season. If you like racing, you will enjoy taking part in the Royal Solent Yacht Club's (RSYC) "Centenary Chase". This is a pursuit race, where each boat gets its own start time based on handicap. First over the line wins (in 2018, the first three were gaffers). The event gives you a chance to race with bermudan dayboats and yachts, such as XODs and Folkboats. But, if you just want to chill, that's fine too.
On Saturday evening, there will be a meal at the Royal Solent. We will have our own room and appropriate social distancing will be arranged, but you will need to wear face masks on entry to the club. Drinks will be brought to your table. Check out the RSYC website for more details.

The OGA Youth Fund was set up in 2013, our 50th Anniversary year, as a legacy for the future to support youth involvement in gaff rig sailing and traditional maritime skills. The purpose of the Fund is to provide financial support to projects and activities, run by the OGA Areas, which introduce young people to gaff rig sailing. In doing so we also hope to improve and extend the profile of the OGA beyond our current membership by increasing awareness of the OGA’s aims, activities and values. The future of the Youth Fund very much relies on sustaining income to the Fund through donations from individuals and fundraising activities in the OGA Areas.
