The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club

Amended opening hours

The Yachting Monthly Triangle Race starts tomorrow 31st May.

It began last night at the Musto Store where everyone was treated to a free drink and a fantastic talk from Mik Underwood taking in his years of experience doing the race and some very funny anecdotes along the way.
The Skippers Briefing happens this evening at the The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club and then they will be off tomorrow on their first leg to Kinsale. From there they set off to Tteguuer where they will go past the infamous Fastnet Rock and in all will be covering 600 nautical miles, some single handed! An incredible challenge.
