Round The Buoy For The Boys 2026

V Grogan is raising money for Mid and North East Essex Mind

Round The Buoy For The Boys 2026 · 12 August 2026

Mid and North East Essex Mind's purpose is to offer hope and support for good mental health, so that no one feels alone. We are affiliated to the national Mind charity however we are financially independent. We provide mental health support services across Mid and North East Essex.

Story

For those unacquainted, the race celebrates what time on the water, with friends, can do for one's mental health. The race is open to all MFOBs and dinghies.

RTBFTB is here to yet-again champion what a few hours on the water, away from it all, with friends, can do for one's mental health. A simple take on it, but one that's hard to argue with.

Life can be complicated, this race isn't- One start, one mark.

Date: Wednesday 12 August (Wednesday of Mersea Week)

Start time: 1200hrs (DSC Line)

Please come armed with this information so we can attempt to get some results.

If you'd like to support and not sail, you're very welcome to join us on the water, either just following along or helping support via a safety boat.

To enter, we're asking for a donation to MIND, a charity close to many of our hearts.

In addition to the money, think about sending a message to someone who might need a few hours on the water or who might be able to join you or want to get involved. Rally your friends, invite them along, they might appreciate it more than you know.

Looking forward to seeing you on the water.
