🟢 Sunday Racing - Spring Series

Spring Dinghy Racing Series.

✅ Club boats available to hire (msg WhatsApp group to confirm)
✅ Powerboats on the water (msg WhatsApp group to confirm)

Series Dates: Sundays in April & May. 
We race every Sunday afternoon when conditions are favourable and the spirit is willing.

Start time: 2pm, (but this is subject to variability if other events are taking place.) So people start to turn up at about 1:00.

How long do we race? Typically we'll either do a 45 minute-ish race or two shorter ones.

Is it serious racing? Definately not!
We're just a bunch of friends who enjoy chasing each other around the cans in our boats. Sure we more or less follow the official racing rules but honestly everyone is very welcome to come and join in - whatever your age, or sailing experience. The more boats we can get out the more fun it is for everyone. We're all more than happy to point newcomers in the right direction.

Afterwards: coffee & biscuits in the club house while we warm up and debate who actually went the right way around the course. 

Not Racing? No problem. You're very welcome to continue using the lake. Do have a look at the race board on the Training Room wall to get an idea of our course though, so you dont get tangled up in things. If you want to borrow a club boat or take advantage of the Safety Boat being on the water just put a message us on the WhatsApp group so we can make sure there's someone about to help.
