Friendly racing all year round for all ages and abilities
Club racing is held on either a Saturday or Sunday each weekend for a variety of club trophies. Racing at our club is very friendly and we encourage members to join in with any of the races if they fancy having a go. In addition the first race each Saturday & Sunday “BST” is specifically for Beginners and Improvers.
Racing is under the supervision of the Officer of the Day assisted by a duty team. There are 16 duty teams which means every member is expected to attend 2 to 3 duty days per year. This involves helping to run the racing, operate the safety boats and provide a galley service.
