Club racing takes place throughout the year. In the main season (April to October), club racing is on Thursday nights (18:00-20:00) and Sunday afternoons (13:30-16:00).  When the clocks go back to GMT (October to March)  we still sail on Sundays (11am to 2pm} but there is not enough time for evening sailing.

​

We want as many people as possible to get out and we welcome all of our members to race. Racing is a chance to have fun whilst testing your racing skills against other members. However, the reservoir is large enough for free sailing while  racing takes place, for those who don't wish to race.

​

Members who race usually run the races and provide a safety boat on a rota basis. Any member can help an experienced member with race organisation. Driving the safety boat requires the helmsman to have either an RYA Powerboat 2 certificate or for those with prior experience a short familiarisation course.

​

The duty rota is usually sent out via whatsapp and email or published on Facebook as well as displayed on the main club noticeboard. Helping with race organisation is an excellent way of getting to know other members and for those who have little or no racing experience working out what is going on!
