ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR COMPETITORS
Boats coming by road
Don’t forget that if you are coming by road, you may be eligable for a travelling bursary to the tune of £200 to help with travelling costs. Email info@impala28.co.uk to apply! Trailers can be borrowed as well, so email if you’re looking for one.
Craning in will take place on Middle Pier in Brixham Inner Harbour on Thursday 14th July and craning out will take place on Middle Pier immediately after sailing on Sunday 17th July during specific time slots due to tidal constraints. The cost for craning is £80 each way.
High tide on Thurs 14th July – 14:30 (Height 3.59) Crane in will be between 12:30 – 16:30
High tide Sunday 17th July – 17:29 Crane out will be between 15:30 – 19:30
Competitors are advised that the craning is limited by the tidal height in the harbour; missing this slot will result in alternative craning arrangements to be made by the competitors.
Entrants travelling by road that require craning are required to register for craning by email to sailing-sec@brixhamyachtclub.com but not later than Thursday 30th June. For the duration of the event trailers can be stored at Brixham Yacht Club, details upon arrival.
Due to the limited time window for craning competitors are advised to pre prepare their boat for craning and mast hoisting and lowering to minimize time at the crane to allow other boats to use the facilities within the time window. Boats will be expected to leave the pier as soon as the mast us upright and rig tuning and fitting boom etc will have to be done elsewhere on Thursday and on Sunday boats on trailers will need to be moved as soon as possible to allow the next boat to take their turn. Order for craning in and out will be strictly in order of arrival.
Craning is also available at Torquay Harbour through Torbay Seaways: 01803-296570 or 07774-605168. This is at any state of the tide. Torquay is approximately 45min to 1hr sail or motor from Brixham.
Lift in can also be arranged at Darthaven Marina on the Dart 01803-752242, at any state of the tide, but there would be a 1.5 to 2 hour motor or sail to Brixham.
Moorings prior to and after the event
For boats arriving on or before Wednesday 13th July or departing Monday 18th July or thereafter swinging moorings or space on the BYC club pontoon are available.
