12/6/2023 - Coming soon!

19/5/2023 -There will be a couple of changes to racing at LESC from Saturday, 3 June. The first change will be to starting order: Dinghies will be the first start and keelboats the second start.
 
The other change is to accommodate the preference for longer legs in the keelboat fleet and shorter races in the dinghy fleet. When all dinghies are finished, and the keelboats are still sailing, if the next keelboat is far enough away that a bounce start will go through without interruption, race committe will attempt to start another short dinghy course.

This will require resetting the timer in order to use the lights or using a flag start. Competitors should be prepared for either. Note that Race Duty MUST use a secondary timer to score keelboat fleet if using the lights OR use a secondary timer to score the dinghies and the horn pressed manually while the race hut timer scores keelboats.

New race duty instructions will be available in the box and on the website by 1 June. 
 

19/5/2023 - If you have a shared trophy, it is time to hand these over to the other person. Should you need a reminder of who to hand yours to, please get in touch with the Sailing Secretary for advice.
