This is a unique RORC inshore regatta that offers crews the chance for some early-season coastal racing, the Guingang Bowl is a 24-hour race starting and finishing in Cowes. From Cowes, the fleet heads out into the channel, with the exact course shaped by the forecast. It might be down to Weymouth, and back across toward Brighton, or a creative loop taking in some scenic stretches and the odd navigational challenge. Expect a few unusual features along the way to keep everyone on their toes and make it interesting.
Twenty-four hours of coastal racing from Cowes where the course is decided by the weather and a slightly mischievous race committee. Expect a bit of everything; Solent tactics, Channel miles and the odd navigational curveball to keep everyone honest.
JOIN THE BOAT: Hamble | Friday PM or Saturday 30th May AM
BACK ON THE DOCK: Hamble | Sunday, early afternoon
4.8/5•62 ReviewsAt LSS we are all about creating cracking experiences to be shared by a growing community of seafaring adventurers! Whether it is exploring the Caribbean Islands, racing around the Fastnet Rock, learning what on earth all this sailing malarky is on about, or just watching the sun go down with a cold beer/gin/wine. Sailing is an excellent facilitator of all of these. LSS was conceived in 2014, by our founder Ruaraidh Plummer. Inspired by instructing hundreds of Yacht and Dinghy training courses and seeing how the majority of students rarely put it into practice before forgetting everything. After teaching dinghy sailing in Vassiliki for 6 years and seeing how receptive people are to learning in a friendly environment, we’ve set out to help sailors learn from the ground up. LSS merged with Equinox Sailing in 2017 and was reborn from the success of this partnership in 2019, to better serve our community.
LSS have a knack for bringing in excellent instructors to run their certificated courses. They’re friendly and approachable, but also bring real depth of knowledge backed up by broad, real-world sailing experience.
