| The Seavets racing series events are held
on inland waters, starting in April and carrying
through the summer until the end of September. The full programme is on the
Events 2012 page.
The series comprises about a dozen
events towards trophies awarded
at the end of the season. The Raceboard fleet is divided into classes by age -
Seniors (under 50), Veterans (50 - 59), Supervets (60 - 70) and Megavets (over
70). Maximum sail size is 7.5m in the Raceboard classes. There is also an Open
class with no limitations on board or sail, and a One Lap fleet who race on a
shortened course - usually One Lap Less!
Proceedings usually start with a briefing at 10.30am, with the aim of
getting out on the water by 11 o'clock. 2 races are held before lunch,
and 2 after, with the prize-giving at about 4.30, enabling people to get away
by about 5pm. An Event Entry Fee is charged - usually £12 for 1 day, £16
for two-day events. Some locations offer catering facilities, and where possible
details are given on the venue information page. Otherwise bring your own sandwiches!
