| ...About Cruisers |
Arun Yacht Club is home to a wide variety of bilge
keelers and lifting-keel cruisers, many of which participate
regularly in club activities. Some support the active cruising
programme, organised by the Cruising Secretary, who is always happy
to advise first-time cruiser skippers. Many of our cruisers cross
the English Channel to explore the French coast and the Channel
Islands, with some venturing even further.
Other boats focus on the cruiser racing programme,
encouraged by the
Cruiser Racing Captain. A wide variety of handicapped
passage and round-the-marks races are available, including day-long
club classics such as the Owers Race and Greenwich Trophy Race. Our
racing teams also compete in races organized by other local clubs
and travel en masse to complete the Round The Island race.
Visiting cruisers are always welcome at the AYC, so if you're planning a trip to the South Coast mark us on your chart.
