News and General Update – 25th April 2025

For the next few weeks Wednesdays will be no-racing days, e.g. bring any type of boat. This will be followed by one-off race days rather than having a race series. The race days planned are:
21st May – IOMs
28th May – IOMs (or Victorias if the weed is starting to show)
4thJune – Victorias (weed permitting)
Silvermere Inn on the Lake have advised us that they have events taking place on Sundays 25th May and 15th June. So regrettably we will not be able to sail those days. However, some other events are planned:
* 1st June – Service vessels etc (warships, tugs and lifeboats etc)
* 22nd June – Large yachts (Marble heads etc)
* 20th July – Barge match
* Assuming weed growth is not a concern
