- Entry and payment details to be advised but we would like to give the SNPH organising committee an idea of numbers as soon as possible so please pre - register.
- The racing organisation is excellent with daily briefings, windward line starts with a committee boat and observed finishes.
- Racing is competitive and with the mixed fleet and two classes rivalry and friendships develop through the week with everyone learning something new to take home with them.
- Sponsorship from the local ports, suppliers and businesses make this a great value event with berthing and evening meals as well as prizes included in the entry fee.
- The club is manned by volunteers who put a huge effort into this for us.
Racing is under the French OSIRIS / HN system. Certificates are valid for 5 years and cost a fraction of IRC. If you don’t already have a valid HN certificate please contact Simon Mitchell - simonjmitchell@mac.com as soon as possible, and he will point you in the right direction.
