NB. The lake has been known to freeze if the winter gets particularly cold. Anyone travelling to these events is advised to check the club website and twitter feed during adverse weather to ensure sailing will take place.
There will be no Marblehead racing this Saturday due to a lack of competitors. Attempts have been made to contact all Marblehead owners in the club.
Next season we will be planning a new format to hopefully encourage more interest – details to follow in due course once they have been confirmed.
