Calvi’s Cup race between Honfleur and Lymington
The CALVI'S CUP
race is organised by Circe Nautique d'Honfleur, a LTSC affiliated club
in France.
This race is composed of two legs, Honfleur - Lymington and Lymington -
Honfleur.
It takes place in May and LTSC offers
competitors hospitality, and more recently, racing around cans.
The Honfleur club invites LTSC boats to participate.
Why Race?
Racing provides the opportunity to improve your boat handling and
sailing skills and to meet and learn from other sailors.
After racing you can retire to the club bar/restaurant having had the satisfaction of sailing your boat hopefully
successfully around the course - maybe fastest!.
Recount your adventures and seek tips on how to improve.
Many LTSC members join in the keelboat racing at RLymYC on Thursday
evenings and Sunday mornings
