Cruisers

Racing and cruising yachts at Christchurch are about 7 to 11 metres, mostly lift keel or bilge keel due to draught limitations in Christchurch Harbour. There is  an active racing programme of over 35 races organised from Easter to October. As well as series and trophy races their are a number of special races which allow skippers to choose their own start time to maximise the tide, these races are often won by the slower boats. All racing is run on a Personal Handicap System which is intended to give all participating boats a chance.

Also organised is a full rally programme which hopefully covers all tastes, ranging from visits to other local clubs, barbecues and longer trips to Cherbourg and Brittany.
