2024 2-Handed Series and Club Regatta
2H class winner -"Samurai J"
2024 changed format
The Mudhook introduced 2-handed racing on the Clyde in 2024
The Mudhook Yacht Club promoted 2-handed racing on the Clyde in 2024 with a new regatta and a season-long championship series, both exclusively for boats racing 2-handed.
2-handed racing has been one of the biggest success stories in sailing over the last five years and the Clyde now has an established series that is likely to be repeated in 2025
The Mudhook's 2-handed event on Saturday 1 June 2024 took the place of the conventional style of regatta which the club had organised for many years for IRC and CYCA handicap and one design classes. Races at the June event were provided for both spinnaker and non-spinnaker classes over two races, an initial short one and then a longer one, both round fixed marks selected on the day. Racing was on CYCA handicaps for each of the spinnaker and non-spinnaker classes The 1 June races were part of the new series organised by the Mudhook incorporating events of other clubs throughout the season.
The constituent events were as follows:
- Sat 27 April CCC Round Bute Race - Inverkip to Largs
- Sat 1 June MYC 2-handed Regatta - Inverkip (2 races)
- Sat 15 June Isle of Bute SC Round Bute Race – Rothesay
- Sat 13 July CCYC Tarbert Race
- Sat 10 August RNCYC Bicentenary Regatta - East Patch (2 races)
- Sat 31 August Fairlie YC/Largs Regatta Festival Scottish 2-handed Race - Largs - long and short courses.
The series therefore included 8 races over 6 events and the best 5 results counted for the series.
