CLYC are delighted to be supporting the Sea View Yacht Club in their launch of the inaugural City Livery Sailing Challenge running from 19 – 20 September 2025.
The event is open to all Livery Companies to send a team of 4 to compete in one of Sea View Yacht Club’s famous Mermaids, which have been a feature of the Solent for over a 100 years. Mermaids are 26-foot, half open keelboats with built in buoyancy, and each boat is painted in a unique colour. This makes for a fantastic vista when the boats are all out racing!
Each crew must be made up of 4 individuals from the same Livery Company.
Plans for the weekend will be a casual Dinner and Drinks at the Sea View Yacht Club on the Friday evening, including Team Captains Drinks, racing through the morning and afternoon on Saturday, followed by a more formal Reception and Prizegiving at Sea View Yacht Club on Saturday evening. The racing fleet will be divided depending upon the number of Livery Companies who enter, though you will be provided with a timetable of racing on entry.
