SKIPPER'S CHALLENGE DAY
Saturday, 12th September 2026
Event Leader: Jamie Martin-Bennett
2025 Winner: Team Moon Daisy
Briefing: Club moorings at 11am
The Skipper's Challenge Day is all about fun, friendship and enjoying everything the Norfolk Broads has to offer. Whether you're an experienced boater, a first-time visitor, young or old, it's the perfect opportunity to get family and friends out on the water and involved in club life.
Forget racing and fierce competition, this event is designed for a relaxed and enjoyable day exploring the beautiful Northern Broads by sail or motor. Crews will take on a series of light-hearted challenges and activities along the way, putting their teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills to the test, with plenty of laughs guaranteed. To keep everyone on their toes, 2026 will feature a brand-new set of challenges, meaning previous entrants won't have any insider advantage!
The briefing in the morning will outline the plan for the day, which will include the instructions on the treasure hunt on the water, the challenges to complete during the day and also things to look out for. The day has been designed so everyone on board can be involved in solving the challenges.
Teams will enter by boat name and will compete against the other boats, with challenges designed to appeal to all ages, so no one will be disadvantaged. In fact, Teams with juniors (U18) on board will be positively rewarded, so encourage your younger friends and families to join you on the water for the day for bonus points!
Teams can have lunch whilst on the move or moor up at a convenient location, before returning back to the club moorings by 4:30pm to submit their challenge results.
Once back, teams can catch up on their antics from the day before the results will be announced, and then members are welcome to stay on the moorings for dinner and drinks.
