"The HARKEN" as it is known in youth sailing circles worldwide stands out as one of the premier events for youth on the International match racing calendar and has during its 19 year history served as a launch pad for a number of local yachting stars including dual Harken winning skippers James Spithill, Michael Dunstan, Seve Jarvin and more recently Torvar Mirsky who has since become a rising star on the World Circuit.
James Spithill, the current America’s Cup winning skipper and one of RPAYC’s favourite sons, will be the special guest at the opening ceremony on 26 November to welcome the competitors and will be out on the water as a spectator during the event. He will provide some added inspiration for the competitors.
