We are now five races into the seven-race Louvre Autumn Sailing Series with the Guernsey Yacht Club, after races four and five took place over the last two weekends - with the final placings still wide open!
Louvre’s Autumn Sailing Series with the Guernsey Yacht Club is well underway, with two yacht races and one dinghy race in the past two weeks. A total of 13 boats are contesting in the series, with eight in the racing class and five in the cruiser class. The yachts have been able to sail both planned races so far whilst, due to high winds, the dinghies have only completed one.
