2027 Annual Student Match Racing – Plymouth

Plymouth Sound is calling. Join us for a weekend of fast, close-quarters match racing at one of the best student sailing events of the year.

Racing takes place on the University of Plymouth Yacht Club's fleet of J80s, sailed with symmetrical spinnakers, in the sheltered but lively waters of Plymouth Sound. Match racing is sailing at its most tactical: two boats, one mark, and every tack, gybe and pre-start move counts. Whether you're a seasoned helm or new to the format, it's the perfect chance to sharpen your boat handling, learn the rules in action and test yourself against crews from across the country.

Two days of racing on our J80s at a brilliant venue. It's a weekend you won't want to miss.

We hope to see you on the start line!
