The R M Smith Hot Pursuit series is a nine race series held over summer. As the name suggests, it is a pursuit series which means that there are staggered starts with the later (and faster) yachts trying to catch the earlier starters. It is white sail, non spinnaker series and held on Sunday afternoons so a great way to spend time on the water.
