The annual YCC Transmanche race, Cherbourg-Weymouth-Cherbourg, this weekend marks the beginning of the 100th/75th joint celebration between our two clubs this year. As always the forecast is for a blow overnight on Friday, so the start has been postponed to Saturday morning, and we expect the first crews to be arriving in the early evening - and first stop will definitely be WSC for a well-earned beer! Rumour has it that an Open 60 will be in attendance on a sizeable mixed fleet, which will be well worth watching arrive!
So come along to the club on Saturday evening to meet YCC members and make friends prior to our return match in June - or come and watch the start of their race back at around 1000 on Sunday morning to cheer them on their way? And why not dress your boat overall to celebrate this special weekend and give our guests a splendid welcome to Weymouth?
