The first event of the Bartley Beast series was planned to take place on Saturday 9th November 2024 (tomorrow), and whilst we were looking forward to welcoming all of the visiting boats we have made the very difficult decision to postpone the event.

The success of the event means we were expecting lots of boats, and the event logistics require a fast turnover of races. With such light and variable winds forecast we cannot provide the high quality racing experience that everyone wants in a fair way. We apologise for those people who were getting ready to travel and hope that you will understand.

It is hoped that the day's racing can be rescheduled into March so we can keep the four-day series format. Please keep an eye on Bartley's website and social media for more information.

We very much hope that you can join us at Bartley Sailing Club on 7th December 2024 for the next event of the Bartley Beast Series. Find out more at www.bartleysailingclub.com/events
