Once initiated by the esteemed member of Plym Yacht Club, Ashley Crawford, the annual winter pursuit race had set out to motivate sailors to embrace the chill of the sea during Christmas season. As time needed, the event has adapted itself beautifully to the evolving Plymouth sailing scenario, aimed at being as inclusive to all water enthusiasts as possible. Unfortunately, in the summer of 2025, the sailing fraternity was stunned by the sudden demise of Ashley Crawford. However, his vision lived on through the winter pursuit race held later that same year, drawing 22 entries amidst the crisp sea air.
