Additional Info

Hot and Cold drinks and light snacks will be available in the West Kirby Sailing Club clubhouse.

LEVEL of the lake can rise and fall slightly due to the tidal conditions, this means that sometimes you may get your feet wet when launching, wear shoes that are appropiate.

BANKS are all concrete, no grass to lay your boat on between racing, bring a blanket or towel to rest your boat on.

WEST KIRBY lake is a little like playing golf at a links coarse when we are all used to Augusta conditions, I would strongly advise skippers to have a look at the smaller rigs before the racing.

PARKING can be a problem and there is strictly no parking on the apron to the lake or in the boatyard, road only.

WEST KIRBY lake is full of fine Irish Sea salt water, there will be a hosepipe available.

WEST KIRBY club has a NO hats policy in the club house, the penalty for wearing a hat in the club house is a round of drinks for everyone in the club.
