The water at WOSC is a flooded gravel pit some 1000 m long by 300 m wide providing close racing enlivened by shifty winds. There could be up to 11 Club boats racing which will hopefully provide some good opposition for the visitors.
The first race will start at 11.30. There will be two further races starting at approximately 1.45 Each race will last approximately 1 hour and refreshments will be available from the galley between races including lunch at the modest price of £2.50. The galley will also be open before the first race for tea/coffee.
If all three races are sailed then there will be one discard. Presentations will take place as soon as possible after the last race.
Registration will be possible from 9:30 on Saturday morning.
