An Introduction to Racing

As a guest on a racing yacht amongst a 40 strong fleet, the rules of yacht racing can be baffling to a novice. The PPP/PFI Challenge has prepared am Introduction to Racing that covers some of the basics of racing. It primarily deals with the most important (and outwardley confusing) area of who has right of way in particular situations. Click on the link below to download our basic introduction and you will have a better understanding of the racing. When combined with the other information in the section, you may even sound like a 'pro' when discussing the days racing at the Gala Dinner!

N.B. Please note that it is the responsibility of both vessels to avoid a collission if possible to do so. No vessel has 'right of way' and Britannia Corporate Events accepts no responsibility for any loss, damage or injury that occurs during racing. Please sail responsibly and remember to act in a courteous manner towards other teams, no matter what the circumstances.
