Fast Cruise 6 - 2025/26 Series

The Little Ship Club Fast Cruise Series is a winter tradition in the Solent, established in 2006 to blend spirited sailing with friendly rivalry. By day crews test their seamanship; by night they gather ashore for good company and a hearty meal.

Post-event, we will be heading to the Royal Lymington Yacht Club.

Skippers are responsible for registering their boats with the club event; berths will be booked in advance by the club for skippers.

The race will start at 11:00 and finish at 15:00 *Race officer may adjust based on environmental factors

Course

The course will be published 72 hours prior to the race.

Two courses are set each cruise: one for small ships and one for larger vessels. Please contact the Rear Commodore (Sail & Power) to confirm which course your vessel should enter.
