Dinghy sailors looking for a fun, but competitive event which also has the benefits of raising funds for charity, should look no further than the Hamble Charity Pursuit Race.

Organised jointly between River Hamble Combined Clubs and the River Hamble Harbour Authority this pursuit race on 30 June, in aid of the Hampshire Autistic Society, is open to non-trapeze monohulls with a Portsmouth Yardstick in the range 1000-1400.

There will be plenty of interesting prizes up for grabs donated by local businesses including a 1 year Yachting World subscription, signed t-shirts by Round the World Yachtsman, items from Yachting Monthly, and clothing from major manufactures.
