Handicap racing for Yachts is broken down into two divisions IRC and PYS.
The Fowey Clubs also support the Cornish Offshore Group Series (COGS) which conduct Yacht races from clubs within Cornwall throughout the season. POFROC also organises coastal and channel races.
The Notice for Race is produced in February and on receiving the appropriate entry fee Sailing Instructions are issued in late March. Sailing Instructions are re-produced in the Club members area for downloading during the season.
