Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association Rally 10th – 11th August 2024
It’s that time of year again so Bowmoor Sailing Club will again be hosting an event for the Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association (CVRDA) over the weekend of 10th – 11th August.
This event always attracts a wide variety of interesting boats including several International Moths, Mirrors, an Albacore, a GP14, a classic Merlin Rocket and a Europe. A small number of the boats that took part were from Bowmoor and this year it would be really great to increase the number of home boats competing if possible.
So, if you have a boat that might be eligible (I know of at least a dozen in the boat park that qualify) then why not dust off the cobwebs, evict the spiders and come and join in the fun. The event has been won by Enterprise number 452 in the past so don’t worry if your boat is not pristine and up to full racing spec, in fact the more original it is the more favourable handicap it is likely to attract. For example, wooden spars and cotton sails would give you an extra handicap allowance.
The principle aim of the CVRDA is to get older boats out on the water doing what they were designed to do even if they are no longer competitive on the open circuit. We pride ourselves on the fact that the overall emphasis is on being inclusive rather than exclusive.

There is a button to see an entry list but it doesn’t seem to be working. Competitors often like to see who else is going to the meeting. Can this be sorted?
The Real Person!
All sorted. Thanks for letting me know.
