In response to recommendations from the RSHYR Incident Report, the CYCA invites all sailors to a dedicated Information Evening on Downwind Sailing in Heavy Air.

Join seasoned offshore experts Jack Macartney, Michael Green and Adam Brown, as they share practical insights and lessons learned from real-life conditions.
