The CHPSC Tremadog Triangle is a 'Top Gear' style challenge - which you can attempt at any time in the CHPSC racing season - from 1st March to 1st December.
You can enter the IRC Class (for Racing Boats) or YTC/NHC Class (for Cruisers) see definition below. There will be prizes for both Classes.

The course can be sailed clockwise or anti-clockwise (the choice is yours) using the club marks as follows:
The start and finish lines are not as defined in the CHPSC Sailing Instructions which are amended below for convenience.

The Finish Line is a transit between the white mast with an orange top section on the foreshore and the ODM (mark O). Boats shall cross this line in the direction from the last mark of the course, to finish.' This amends CHPSC SI's 11.1
