Scarborough Yacht Club's annual North Sea Race to Holland is scheduled to set off on Friday 23rd June 2023 with a fleet of competitors from both countries.
Yachts from along the Yorkshire and North East coastline will be gathering for the club's premier offshore event, sponsored again by Boyes 'for good value' Stores.
Joining boats from the home club on the start line in Scarborough's South Bay will be entries from Amble, Blyth, Hartlepool, Whitby and Bridlington.
There will also be two boats sailing over from Holland to take part, including 2022 IRC winner, Dick Koopman's yacht 'Jäger', returning to defend their title.
Spectator boats and the RNLI will be alongside the 16-strong fleet to celebrate the start at 1900 on Friday 23rd June, with competitors then racing to Ijmuiden in The Netherlands.
The boats can be followed all the way across on YellowBrick tracking and apart from the safety aspect it is interesting to follow their progress."
Winning flags will be presented in Holland and the trophies will follow at Scarborough Yacht Club's annual dinner in November.
There is also an informal race back to Scarborough from Holland - with participants recording their individual times - allowing for the option to stay over in The Netherlands for cruising or a holiday.
