Summary
The Ostend-Ramsgate offshore race is a traditional regatta from the Belgian coast across the English Channel through challenging waters and areas of heavy traffic. If you are up for an exciting and competitive sailing adventure, please fill in our booking form to enquire and receive further information from our experienced skippers!
About the Race
Offshore race from Ostend to Ramsgate and back, including one regatta day around Ramsgate. In addition, this activity will include the transfer of our yacht BlueOne from Colijnsplaat, Netherlands, to Ostend and, after the race, from Ostend back to Colijnsplaat. On the way to the starting line in Ostend, we will practice working as a team on deck, hoisting the spinnaker and learning about sail trim. The race itself will be a challenging full-day sail across the Channel with a BlueOne crew competing with other sailors who are as keen to win as we are!
​Some racing or offshore experience is required for this regatta.
How much will it cost?
The Participation Fee for this race is EUR 360 per sailor.
This does not include a 'kitty' to cover shared costs for breakfasts, lunches or dinners prepared on board and diesel used during the passage. As most of us live in Brussels, we often carpool to  Zeeland and back.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME?
For this race you will need full sailing gear (waterproofs, sailing boots, sailing gloves and layers to keep you warm during the passage). Please keep your luggage to a minimum to avoid excessive weight on the boat (we are racing!). Accommodation is on the yacht; please bring your own bedding, a sleeping bag is ideal (pillows are provided). You also need to bring your own toiletries and towel.

Goofies - November 2018 to April 2019

Summary
In the winter of 2018/2019, BlueOne will take part in the Goofies series for the first time. The start/finish line is just outside Colijnsplaat harbour entrance and the races around cans are quickly finished in a few hours in the afternoon. During the past years we have seen that the organisers are very kind: the colder it gets, the shorter the race track is! On the Sundays after the Goofies, we offer additional sailing training with spinnaker handling (weather permitting).
About the race
​The Goofies Winter Race is sailed in Colijnsplaat, the home port of BlueOne, on the first Saturday of the month from October to April. These winter competitions started in 1984 and were originally organised by two sailors, both with the first name Goof. The Goofies are an informal race where having fun is the main objective. Over the years, the number of participants has grown to a large sailing event with many competitive teams.
How much will it cost?
The Participation Fee is EUR 90 per sailor.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME?
At winter time the conditions can be harsh (windy and cold) so make sure you are well equipped for these events (full sailing gear: waterproofs, sailing boots, sailing gloves and layers to keep you warm during the race). BlueOne's usual wind and temperature limits apply, so be prepared for a last minute cancellation.
