The Bala Long Distance & Catamaran Open two events have now been merged and rescheduled for the 10/11th July 2021. We are pleased to announce that the joint event will be supported and be part of the Great British Sailing Challenge Series, run by SailJuice.

In 2019 the Long Distance Event saw 61 entrants battle it out for the Long Distance Trophy on the Saturday, followed by back-to-back Handicap Racing on the Sunday. With the same format planned for this year it's an event you really don't want to miss. Bala Sailing Club as always offers a warm welcome to all visitors for what will be our first post-pandemic event.

For any enquiries contact Bala Sailing Club, email sailingcaptain@balasc.org.uk
