Annual Match against the Bar YC
We have sailed a match against the Bar Yacht Club most years since the mid 1950s. Honours have been fairly even over the decades. In recent years we have sailed this annual match at Seaview Yacht Club in Mermaids. We have not yet agreed with the Bar how to sail the event this year. Please express your interest on the club What's App group or email secretary@lawsocyc.org.uk
