Charter Continuum - Winners of the 2000 race.
The Twenty Fifth Anniversary Barmouth to Fort William
Three Peaks Yacht Race will start from Barmouth on Saturday 30th June 2001.
The Rules and Instructions reflect the fact that the Race will be for monohulls only.
The Tilman Trophy, which should appeal to many of those in the slower boats concerned
with overcoming the challenge will include special Rules to celebrate the 25th Anniversary...
The Race is a serious challenge, involving 389 sea miles sailing, 29 miles cycling,
and 59 miles of walking, including the climbing of the highest mountains in Wales,
England, and Scotland. The Race Committee draws the attention of competitors to the
difficult nature of the sailing, through some of the trickiest waters on the West
coast of Great Britain. In previous years extreme conditions have been found on the
mountain sections, including snow and ice.
The equipment lists in Appendices two and three are minimum requirements , and prudent
competitors will wish to take extra items of both sailing and mountaineering equipment.
To reduce risks to a minimum, the following Rules and the Race Instructions, which
form part of the Rules, have been drawn up. The Committee expects every competitor
to honour the declaration, which he will sign on the morning of the race, to say
that he will abide by the Rules. We point out that these rules are mainly to ensure
a high standard of safety for competitors. We also point out the arduous nature of
the Race, and that it is the duty of each competitor to ensure that he or she is
fit enough to carry out all the tasks required of a competitor. We feel that the
Race is too arduous for young people and will not accept entries from anyone of less
than 18 years of age.
We are sending five copies of the Rules and Instructions to each yacht entering for
the Race, and ask Skippers to ensure that all members of the crew have read the Rules
and Race Instructions thoroughly before coming to Barmouth for the start of the Race.
If competitors have any questions that they would like to ask about the Race, they
should write to the Race Secretary, who will reply by post on behalf of the Committee.
On the morning of the start of the Race, at the briefing, time will be allowed for
Skippers to ask questions which Race Officials will answer. Marshals and other officials,
if asked, may give advice on the interpretation of the Rules and Race Instructions,
but only the Race Committee or the Protest Panel are empowered to give a ruling on
matters relating to the Rules and Race Instructions. Such rulings will generally
only be given before the Race or at the end of the Race.
