Club Racing & Fleets

Club racing at Draycote is a mixture of fleet and handicap racing every Sunday year round, and Wednesday evenings in the Summer.

A different and varied course is used each week with a round-the-cans format using our 18 permanent race marks, plus a movable mark.

We are proud to have such a healthy turnout to weekly club racing that we are able to have some fleet starts.

Race Marks

We have 18 permanent race marks at Draycote, known as blue ‘cans’ that are used for Club racing.

This map has been created with GPS positioning for accuracy and plastic maps for your boat are available to buy from the shop.

Race Duties

Race duties at Draycote are rostered using the DutyMan system.  Only members (aged 16+) who have raced in the previous season will be on the duty roster, and with the new automated start system there are only 1-2 duties required per season.

Novice Racers

Getting started with Club racing can be daunting with the staggered race starts, and new rules to learn.

Join our monthly Novice Race start on the first Sunday of the summer series (April to September), and an experienced sailor will be helping you get to grips with racing.
