race courses & mark chart

Sea View Yacht Club uniquely benefits from having its race courses just below the battlements of its clubhouse, so there is no lost time in sailing to the start line, and the spectating is superb.

The Club has two fixed start and finish lines or can set up wind-perfect committee-vessel starts. Courses are then set around a network of racing marks. These marks are charted and a copy is shown on the right. Sailors are supplied with a waterproofed copy of this chart to ensure everyone sails the correct course and finds their way home safely – perhaps in victory!
