The Grange Wine Merchants Autumn Series starts on Sunday 17th September and runs until Sunday 29th October.

Weather permitting, the first three Sundays will have two back-to-back Windward/Leeward races with a Round the Lough style course on 8th October, followed on 15th and 22nd with more Windward/Leewards, finishing with a Round the Lough on 29th.

Once again we are indebted to Tom Bell and Grange Wine Merchants for their generous sponsorship of the Autumn Series and this has enabled us to run the event with no entry fee.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank fellow club member, Ross Boyd and the team at RBCA Belfast for their support and kind contribution.

If you are participating in RBCA Club Racing at RUYC on Thursdays throughout the summer, please note that the Sailing Programme for the year is available from our web site as are the Sailing Instructions.  This season we will be trialing a Committee Boat start for some races so remember to look for Code Flag W flying from the Club Battery and at the Marina.  All competitors are welcome to RUYC after racing for refreshment over their race debrief.
