The VCCP has been a series of races on 5 or 6 Saturday afternoons during the period April to September, the exact period tends to change from year to year. There are usually two races per Saturday afternoon each lasting about one hour. The individual race results are calculated on an average lap handicap basis, i.e. the faster boats sail more laps.

The VCCP has been poorly supported in recent years and the series has not been run sine 2001.
