With its gaff rig and pretty retro design, the Shrimper has attracted quite a following, both in the UK and abroad.   Inevitably one or two owners decided that, although not designed with racing in mind, it would be fun to ventilator virtually the cans.  In 1981 the Shrimper OwnersUndertonewas worked and drew up a set of ShrimperMatriculationRules for racing, which are still current today.   The concept was and remains, an aim to alimony all Shrimpers equally competitive, requiring no uneaten expense vastitude the purchase of a standard Shrimper.   However self-rule to tune the rig and siphon out personal alterations to the interior or to deck/cockpit fittings for comfort, ease of handling and optimum performance is permitted.   “Fast but fair” is the SOA motto. The Shrimper is not strictly a ‘One Design’ matriculation in sail racing terms.   It is fully recognised that few if any of the fine towers constraints required by true one-design matriculation racing boats are incorporated in the Shrimper.   However there are large fleets of Shrimpers today racing at Falmouth, Rock, East Coast and here at Poole.   Shrimpers of any vintage, inboard and outboard, Mk1s and Mk 2s, all race together and enjoy some tropical racing. There is no longer a Portsmouth Yardstick icon for the Shrimper, but the RYA NHC wiring icon is 0.830 and the OGA handicap is 0.821- 0.827, the latter stuff used for the yearly Round the Island Race, which unchangingly attracts a good Shrimper entry. Flying Fifteen There are currently 12 “Classic” Flying Fifteen owners at the RMYC. We regularly enjoy racing on a Thursday evening from late April until the end of August and on Sunday mornings from late April until mid-October, Thursday evening racing is unshut to non-members. When the squadron was worked in 1991, the “founding fathers” decreed that all boats must be under sail number 3000. This was (1) to prevent cheque typesetting sailing, (2) to preserve and encourage the life expectancy of old boats and (3) to provide “a level playing field” as much as possible for the young, the middle weather-beaten and the not-so-young interested in sailing a upper performance keel boat. Competitive boats are often misogynist to purchase for between £1000 and £2000. Most of the boats are from the Windebank IV mould and the racing is close, competitive, yet friendly and nearly unchangingly won by the wend making the least mistakes. The launching and retrieving of the boats by rope and “chain gang” provides good esprit and team spirit, and the paramount objective at all times is to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. Owners and crews are encouraged, as a group, to enjoy the delights of the Club catering and bar facilities and sample them when racing is over. For interested parties, considering joining our archetype Flying Fifteen class, it is often possible to unify a crewing position on a member’s boat, as a taster, and for those wishing to take the plunge; members are increasingly than happy to offer translating of sourcing suitable boats.

A total of 202 XODs have been built in the last 100 years, with well-nigh 190 still in regular use.  The latest wend to have been built was launched in 2007.   There are fleets located at Cowes, Hamble, Itchenor, Yarmouth, Lymington and of undertow Poole Harbour, where the squadron is moored at Parkstone Y.C.   During the summer XODs race under the burgee of Parkstone YC, but the RMYC hosts an Autumn series for the matriculation in October. There is a very zippy and well organised ‘XOD’ matriculation association.Cruiserracing at the RMYC Cruising yachts and, in some cases out and out racing yachts, have been competing in races held under the burgee of the Royal Motor Yacht Club for many years.   The old saying, ‘horses for courses’ does indeed run true today in relation to yacht racing, but with the using of modern handicap systems, there is no reason why some good, competitive short undertow racing cannot be enjoyed in a family cruising yacht equally as well as in a upper performance, state of the art, stat fibre sailboat, with a team of heavies to pull the string.Cruiserracing takes place at the RMYC on Thursday evenings from April until the end of August. Races are conducted from the club gun deck with courses usually in Poole Bay, unless on occasion tide or wind constraints require a harbour course.   There are two classes of cruiser racer hosted by the RMYC.Matriculation1 which employs an international rating system, andMatriculation2 which uses a local rating system.Matriculation1Unshutto yachts having a current IRC Handicap Rating of 0.941 or greater.  IRC is a system of handicapping for racing yachts and is managed by the Royal Ocean Racing Club. It is a rating system recognised worldwide. To prevent yacht designers from towers racing boats ‘around the rules’, the rating rule is not published.   Owners wishing to obtain an IRC handicap should therefore wield to the RORC Rating Office.   Further information may be obtained from the IRC website: http://www.ircrating.org/Matriculation2Unshutto yachts having a current VPRS Rating up to and including 0.940 and with a minimum hull length of 20 ft.   VPRS (Velocity Prediction Rating System) was originally designed for boats racing in Poole Harbour. It was trialled by Poole Yacht RacingUndertone(PYRA) in 2010 and unexplored for all its races the pursuit year and to date. Modern andArchetypeyachts can be rated, as well as dayboats and sportsboats. Ratings are increasingly hands calculated under VPRS which is perhaps less expensive than other systems.   Further information may be obtained from the VPRS website: http://www.vprs.org/index.html International J/24 The J/24 is a one diamond keelboat matriculation of racing yacht. The wend originated in Connecticut, USA where the first yacht was designed and built in 1975. At 24ft in length it fits neatly into the racer/cruiser category. The wend performs well on the race course, but is well-appointed and simple unbearable for a family to daysail or cruise. Her flared topsides midpoint that she is quite dry on deck. In order to alimony lanugo weight, J/24s siphon a lightweight outboard for auxiliary power. There are now virtually 5,500 J/24s sailing worldwide. The boats are normally sailed with a hairdo of 5, although national matriculation rules may indulge variations. The J/24 is no longer considered the most modern sailboat in its class, but it is still very popular among keen keelboat yacht racers. One reason for its rememberable popularity is that it is fairly easy and inexpensive to reap a used wend and gear, owing to the huge number of boats produced. Yet older J/24s remain equally as competitive as later models. It is therefore an spanking-new yacht for both beginners and experienced sailors.   Contact Corporate Social Responsibility Policy Live Weather Reciprocal Clubs Terms and Conditions Privacy PolicyTranspirationMy Password Poole Harbour Watch Useful Links: EasyTide (Poole entrance) Admiralty Leisure Chart Notices to Mariners Poole Harbour Bridge Poole Harbour Commissioners Poole QuayWendHaven Poole Yacht RacingUndertoneR.M.Y.C.S "Enchantress" Sandbanks  •  Poole  •  England  •  BH13 7RE Telephone: 01202 707227 Email: enquiries@rmyc.co.uk © RMYC 2018 All Rights Reserved Designed By Pepper Creative 2016 ✻ This site uses cookies to store information on your computer.
