CANCELLED: Wanderer – Wayfarer Racing Weekend

This is fast-becoming our opening event for the season. Join the Wayfarer fleet for the first race meeting of the 2021 season.  WOSC is a remarkably friendly and cooperative club which manages racing quietly and efficiently from the onshore race-box. The bacon sarnies are delicious. Camping, motor-homing on site.

CANCELLED – Arnside Race Meeting

Join us at Arnside for a Racing event in the North. Arnside is located on the Kent Estuary at the top of Morecambe Bay in an area of outstanding natural beauty with views to the Lakeland Fells. The Estuary faces south west and offers you a large sailing area. At high tide it is possible to sail out into the Bay towards Holme Island and Grange-over-Sands. There is a tidal window of 2 hours or more at high tide where it is possible to sail. Winds tend to be more constant than on a lake. On summer afternoons, a light sea breeze can make for pleasant sailing conditions. Tide against wind can result in exciting sailing. The Estuary provides you with a chance to sail in the sea with the reassurance of land on either side. Please RSVP for more information.

As ever this is FREE race entry to Wanderer Association Members  There will be separate starts for the two fleets if numbers justify it, with Wanderers following Wayfarer starts by 5 minutes, meaning they don’t have to sail through us and we get to chase them and see which way pays up the first beat or where people can hold spinnakers without having to experiment ourselves…while watching and learning from their racier types. It would be great to
