Richmond Yacht Club prides itself on being the home of single-handed sailing.  We continue to partner with Devonport Yacht Club to offer competitors a range of challenging courses.  At a series level, the Night Race to Mahurangi will offer competitors those more challenging options whilst the Sir Peter Blake Memorial Race will provide the opportunity to race to a destination and to enjoy the company of other competitors at our renowned beach barbecues.

For those looking for a extra challenge, check out the Gulf Triangle Singlehanded Challenge  – 3 Legs, 2 Layovers, One Sailor.
