Round Britain Relay 2010 - 22nd May - 28th August PDF Print E-mail


This the big one! As you can see below the relay has been divided up into 14 week-long legs so that the maximum number of boats can take part. The finish date has been pushed out in order to allow those boats doing the East Coast Race sufficient time to make their way to the Hamble to join in with the finish celebrations, should they wish to. Space has been booked with MDL for the start and finish at Hamble Point.

The aim is to have as many boats as possible join on the last leg, perhaps from Weymouth, and have the flotilla arrive together at Hamble Point. To include your boat in any (or all ??) of these legs please send a private message to the Project Manager (username A39). For members who are restoring boats and would like to sail an Atalanta there are bound to be crewing opportunities, too.

We still need help with several aspects of the Round Britain Relay, especially arranging publicity and sponsorship. If you can help in these areas please do contact A39.
