SUMMER SAILING SERIES

Set sail this summer with the Solent Buoy Challenge Series, featuring six sailing events, one each month over the summer in the Solent.

Navigate your way around key marks to earn 1 point for each buoy or navigational mark rounded, and 2 points for rounding the Little Ship Club Buoy. Boats can start from any location but must finish at the designated buoy by the set time. You may only round each buoy or mark once per event — but the Little Ship Club Buoy can be rounded as many times as possible to boost your score!

Plan your own route, make the most of the tides, and enjoy the sun while using and improving your sailing and navigation skills.

Open to all experience levels — members and non-members are welcome! Just ensure that each participating boat is skippered by a Club Member.
