There will be two Fast Cruises this weekend, running "back to back" (FC5 and FC6). For each there will be a long and a short course, details of which will be added to the website on Friday morning.

The start area for the first cruise (for both courses) will be in the region of Ryde Bank, approximately in an area bounded by N Ryde Middle, NE Ryde Middle, Peel Bank, Norris and W Ryde Middle (see chart below).

The first cruise start will be at 11.00-11.10. The start time for the second cruise is intended to be shortly after all boats have completed the first course. It is hoped that the start of the second cruise will be in the vicinity of the finish of the first cruise - though this may be affected by any shorten course decisions taken on the day.

All boats shoild keep a close listening watch on VHF Ch77 for announcements from FC control (call sign FENYA ANNE).
