☀️ DFM Regatta — Day Two Update ⛵
Light airs greeted the fleet this morning, and the race team earned their keep! Race one saw not one but two general recalls, before the black flag came out to settle everyone down. 🏴

Race two is underway and the discard is already locked in.

⛵ DFM Guernsey Regatta — Day One! ⛵

And we're off! Day one dawned misty over Castle Cornet, but the fleet was rewarded as the haze burned away and a lovely 10–12 knot breeze filled in — shifty enough to keep every helm and tactician honest out there.
A cracking turnout of 20 boats on the water, with four clean starts under the race team's watchful eye (and just one general recall to keep everyone on their toes ).

The fun's not over! Join us at the club this evening for our Regatta Social — BBQ for all competitors and supporters, with live music from Charlie Sherborne & Dave Hatfield. Whether you were racing or cheering from the shore, come and swap stories over good food and great tunes.

Huge thanks to our race team and volunteers for a brilliant first day, and to DFM for their continued support of this event.
More racing tomorrow — fingers crossed for another day of breeze and less mist.

A collage of the busy start.

☀️ New Summer Menus at the Club! ☀️

The new summer menus are out, fresh changes to both food and wine to see us through the summer months.
A few new favourites to tempt you:
🦐 Garlic King Prawns & Feta Salad, sautéed king prawns with local seaweed flakes and Greek feta. A proper warm-weather plate.
🍳 Pork Schnitzel Holstein, breaded escalope topped with fried eggs, capers and lemon.
🔥 Jerk Chicken Burger, spiced chicken with a real kick, harissa mayo and crispy fried onions.
There's plenty more besides... chargrilled gammon, fresh spinach and ricotta tortellini, and a chicken tikka wrap, so there's something for every appetite. Plus a brand new pasta of the day to keep things interesting.
Come down, grab a table and enjoy the view. We'll see you at the bar!

Celtic Triangle Race – Team Guernsey Reports Back!
Full results: https://www.sailwave.com/results/YMTC26.htm

Four GYC boats recently competed in the Yachting Monthly Double & Single Handed Celtic Triangle, organised by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.

Leg 1 from Falmouth to Kinsale was a strong start – Kaya 2 first around Lands' End, Sun of a Gun 3 second in class, Seventh Sun fourth, and Ptarmigan fighting a great battle with two boats all the way to Ireland with Nick Elliott crewing, fresh off the plane from Australia!

Then came a six-day "mini break" in Kinsale while gales and 5–6 metre seas made the Celtic Sea very much off limits. Cork pubs, cold sea swims, and windy cliff walks kept Team Guernsey busy. 🍺🏊

When racing resumed, a forecast F4-5 to Fowey delivered mostly F6 and big seas. Sun of a Gun 3 stormed home with line honours averaging 11 knots,
Seventh Sun third. Kaya 2, passing the Scillies, made the very reasonable call to head straight home to Guernsey instead. 🏠

Ptarmigan made it to Fowey – though a mystery UK Coastguard call mid-passage caused some anxiety ashore, and John Elliott arrived with every item of clothing completely soaked. New forehatch on the to-do list!

Great sailing, great company, great craic – and with Treguier still unfinished business, we'll be back! ⛵🇬🇬

C*C Triangle Race – Sponsored by R W Martel Building Contractors

What a weekend! 10 boats set off from Guernsey over the late May bank holiday for the Guernsey Combined Clubs French Triangle Race, racing between Guernsey, Carteret and Diélette in Normandy.
Three races, two countries, dolphins, dead flies, a man overboard drill (swiftly recovered!), and some brilliant sailing in between. Light winds tested navigational patience throughout, but spirits were never in short supply — especially at the tapas feast at L'Escale restaurant, courtesy of our fantastic sponsor R W Martel Ltd. 🍢
🏆 Weekend Results:
Class 1 Overall – Seventh Sun
Class 2 Overall – Busker
First Double-Handed – Panthalassa
A huge thank you to R W Martel Building Contractors for their generous sponsorship — and a special mention to their boat Kaya 2, who were safely in the bar well before anyone else after every race! 🍻
Here's hoping 2027 sees even more boats on the start line. See you out there!
