Welcome to the
Cruiser Racing section of THYC.
If you are interested in sailing and having fun
with a little competative edge or just cruising we would love to hear
from you. You don't need to own a boat as there is always a need for
crew.
If you do own a boat any
type of cruiser can take part. We race using North East Racing
Rule (Nerr) handicap system which allows different boats to compete
so even the slowest boat can win.
The competition is for enjoyment and to improve your sailing ability.
CRUISER
