ROUND THE BUOY FOR THE BOYS 2024
RACING INFORMATION
RTBFTB is here to yet-again champion what a few hours, on the water, away from it all, with friends, can do for one’s mental health. A simple take on it, but one that’s hard to argue with. The sunnier disposition land has after being on the water is something we believe is worth celebrating.
Life can be complicated, this race isn’t.
One start, one mark.

What it is
It’s PY / MFOB handicap
Please come armed with this stuff so we can attempt to get some results.
If you’d like to support and not sail, you’re very welcome to join us on the water, either just flowing along, or helping support via a safety boat.
To enter, all we’re asking for is a donation to MIND, a charity close to many of our hearts.
The link to donate is at the bottom of this mail, you don’t have to donate to race, or donate at all, however RTBFTB will make sure every penny raised goes directly to MIND and they’d be very grateful if you did.
RTBFTB has managed to outdo it’s donations YOY and while we’re quietly smug about how much the event raises every year through the very generous souls that partake, this year it’d be great to see the trend of growth continue. Last year 149 donations totaled nearly £7k.
In addition to the money, think about sending a message to someone who might need a few hours on the water. Rally your friends, invite them along, they might appreciate it more than you know.
Looking forward to seeing you on the water.
All the best.
Oli + Tor
