POOLE YACHT RACING ASSOCIATION

Welcome to the Poole Yacht Racing Association ( PYRA ) Web Pages hosted by Parkstone Yacht Club.
Our goal is to provide you with useful information about PYRA so that if you are unaware of us you might consider joining us or if you are already a member then you will find useful information about past and future events and races.

Our objects are:-

"to promote, encourage, organise and coordinate racing for bona fide sailing yachts in association with the member yacht clubs based on Poole Harbour which sponsor it. (Currently these are Parkstone, Poole and Royal Motor Yacht Clubs)."

We put on a varied programme of races (see sailing programme) and social events.
