New Years Day Pursuit Race 2026 - Colin Lyons Cup
Join us on Thursday, 1st January 2026, for our New Year’s Day Pursuit Race!
In response to the recent and very sad passing of Colin Lyons, we have dedicated this event to his loving memory, and named this and all subsequent New Year’s Day Pursuit Races the Colin Lyons Cup.
Colin Lyons was a lifelong member of Cardiff Bay Yacht Club. He represented his country in GP14s at the Commonwealth Games and also competed at the GP14 World Championships. In 1979, Colin took part in—and survived—the tragic Fastnet Race. He later went on to race performance cruisers and represented Wales in the Teacher’s Round Britain Race in 1995. Colin enjoyed many races in the Bristol Channel and spent many great events and happy times at Cardiff Bay Yacht Club.
The Clubhouse Bar will be open from 12 noon to 6pm — complimentary soup and bread will be served on a first-come, first-served basis (when it’s gone, it’s gone!).
We look forward to welcoming you to this special event!
