Corporate Class – This class is for Sailing Schools and Charter Boats who have one Group 3 sailor onboard and Boat Dealers who wish to sail with customers. One Group 3 Sailor is allowed per boat in this class.
There has been a trend over the years of boats generally getting bigger and also having deeper draft. In Crosshaven we have a fixed amount of space in particular from a draft perspective and we will consider limiting entries, if we cannot fit anymore boats into the river – so get your entry in. All in all its shaping up to be a great event.
