Shustoke Sailing Club will be welcoming GP14s and Comet Trios to their open event on Saturday 24th March.

Shustoke is conveniently situated in the Midlands; with a full 100 acre reservoir and bacon butties on offer for breakfast – what more could you want?

There will be three races, briefing will be at 10.30, and first race starts at 11.00. Entry fee is £15 per boat (£10 for Shustoke members). Sailing Instructions and the Notice of Race are available on our website.

Six Comet Trios took part in 2017, how many will be sporting the new rig this year for an extra bit of speed? This will be the first of the GP14 Midland Bell series, I'm sure there'll be plenty of boats on the water practicing for their World Championship later in the year!
