A sailing event is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary in Jersey with a series of races.

The Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club (RCIYC) has set up the event which will include surf relay racing, a hull flying competition and races around St Ouen’s Bay.

Organisers said the event had not been able to take place for several years due to logistics and restrictions around moving boats from their base in St Aubin’s bay.

They said there had been “growing enthusiasm to reintroduce the racing in St Ouen’s Bay”.

Organisers said the island’s Hobie Fleet will also take to the water at the weekend.

Hobie Cats, a type of sailing catamaran, were first introduced into St Ouen’s Bay in the 1980s.

Organisers said: “It will be action packed, including surf relay racing, a hull flying competition and races around the bay.”

The racing will begin on Saturday at 11:30 BST, with the Hobie Cat Dash race back to St Aubin’s bay on Sunday starting at 12:00 BST.

Organisers added the race area, north of Le Braye and towards El Tico, could be viewed from the beach or sea wall.
