Tuesday is our training and cruising night, for both members and guests. Wednesday is our hotly contested summer evening series. Saturday is two handicap races, summer Sundays are two class races plus a lunchtime handicap. In addition there is a monthly pursuit and various other 'specials'. Cruising is encouraged at weekends and of course on summer Tuesdays.

The winter programme consists of a morning class race and lunchtime handicap. Winter-only memberships are available at a reduced rate, for one or both of the two winter series.

Details on race start times, race types and methods of starts are on the Island Barn Sailing Programme.
