Racing

The Crew are broken down to perform a series of tasks that become the basic skills to build the working members of ‘The Team’. The team race the yacht round the course.

2005 Race Training Courses

Our Race Training Courses are designed for both the novice and the already experienced racing crew.

The aim of these courses are to teach the ‘individual tasks’ needed for the yacht to be raced efficiently, safely and competitively.

Each crew will learn the basic understanding of
the ‘defined tasks’ required by each member of
the team to race the yacht (competitively) as one.

Using our Reflex 38 Racing Yachts Cougar & Cheetah; capable of speeds of 20 knots, Performance Yachting can offer some exciting sailing.





Our racing courses offer a varienty of training grounds, from the sheltered waters of the Plymouth Sound, along the beautiful Devon & Cornish coastline to ports such as Falmouth and Salcombe to cross Channel Races to French Ports such as St. Malo and Morlaix.



Our Racing Packages include four to five days of Race training then concluding with a cross Channel Race and return sail back to Plymouth.
