Cornish & Scilly Isles Cruise 2021

Skylark, Anodyne & Master Chantler

All three yachts meet in Fowey followed by dinner at the Royal Cornwall YC in Falmouth before parting company.

Anodyne & Master Chantler explored the Cornish coast between Plymouth and the Helford river and had an excellent time with good company & good food.

Round the Island Race

We entered this classic event for the first time for 20 years in 2021 having won Class H by 32 minutes in 2001. If members wish to organise a boat its an experience not to be missed but is one of the more expensive weekend's sailing in the year. The simplest option is a charter from Sunsail or one of the other sailing schools as they are set up for that sort of thing.

The Grudge Match

LSYC have sailed a variety of formats against the Bar Yacht Club over many years, from dinghies to 38' yachts and over the period the results have been about even.

The Bar YC won the most recent outing at Seaview YC in 2022.

The Industry Sailing Challenge

LSYC entered the Industry Sailing Challenge and the Turner & Newall Industry Sailing Masters many times between 1988 and 1998 with a fair degree of success.

Here is the 1994 entry skippered by Nick Lightbody with Finbarr Leahy on the front of the rail and Robin Shepherd further back.
