David Bailey David Bailey created an event for Burwain Sailing Club.
Southport 24 hour raceSouthport 24 hour raceDear Sailors

Once again we have entered the 24 hour race to be held between 9th and 10th of September; all sailors are welcome.

We have initially booked the club Enterprise into the event. However if there are enough people interested and we have an over subscription we will also book a GP14 to ensure everyone gets a chance.

We are looking for volunteers to assist with transporting and rigging the boats, setting up the base camp and catering.

If you which to take part please add yourself to the event and add the roles that you want to fulfil:

Helm, Crew, Logistics, Catering.

We will review the numbers and make the second boat decision closer to the time and then call a meeting to plan the event.

Best regards
David Bailey

Tom Partridge Hi Katy, 1st Mark in Wigan sell sailing gear http://www.1stmark.co.uk/. They sponsor various north west junior sailing events so they should have a good range of junior gear, but worth checking with them before you visit. There is also Preston marina which is a bit closer http://www.prestonmarina.co.uk/core_pages/shop.html. Both should be able to offer advice. Have you checked out all the hand-me-down gear at the club? Hope to see you and Jonah this eve. But hoping the wind drops off a bit!

Learning to sail was a great experience

The beginners course gives a grounding in the basics, like learning to drive again with many other factors to master.  Get it right and speed across the water
