Well we made it to 5 years! Who'd have thought it? Thank you all so much for being part of it. Every year the race has grown a little more. From just 3 boats in our first year to 14 last year. And the best thing of all is the people who have been part of it - all sharing the spirit of adventure with bags of enthusiasm and innovative techniques for each and every transition! 5 years on, we're a bonafide Yealm Yacht Club Race and have the support of our sponsors, Marchand Petit too. Interest just seems to keep on growing.
So enough basking in the glory of previous years, what are we doing to celebrate the 5 years? Throwing in a few extra bits of fun of course.
NEW for 2018
- A special prize for the fastest team where EVERY member of the team completes at least one running leg (yes skippers that means donning the running shoes!)
- We are introducing 2 classes so that slower yachts can still feel part of the action. Class 2 boats will have a shortened sailing course on day 2 (no Eddystone rounding, just straight to the Yealm)
We have a few other chestnuts up our sleeve but watch this space. Updates to follow shortly!
We look forward to welcoming many more adventurous crews to the 3 Creeks fold.
