A slight error crept into the previous post. The course should in fact go around the Middle Sands beacon rather than the Mid Can’t beacon, as below. For those that have not sailed the route before, you need to be a little careful between Middle sands and the Spile as the direct line can get a little shallow.
For anyone interested this years Red Sands Race is scheduled to take place on Sunday 22nd. May.
The start time is 06.30.
Start line an east west line through the Edith May mooring (the large yellow buoy farthest out from our moorings)
Medway no.7 buoy leave to starboard.
Red Sands towers leave to starboard.
Middle Sands beacon leave to starboard.
Spile buoy leave to starboard.
Finish line Slaughterhouse point in short reach.
The first boat home to record finish times.
Handicaps will apply.
Any queries please contact Graham Osborne on Marie Louise (listening channel 16 or 72)

Hope to see some of you on Sunday.
Best regards
