Whilst there are warnings of wind on Friday, Saturday's forecast is more benign with some sunshine and 6-10mph winds, so ideal for the first off the Inter Club Midland series which starts at Notts County Sailing Club on 25th January.
The series instigated several years ago provides racing opportunities at local venues over the winter and calls in at four East Midlands venues, at each venue all the four host clubs members have free entry. Other clubs and members are welcome to join but there is an entry fee (see each clubs website).
Each club has a two day event and aims for five races, one being a pursuit, however conditions will dictate the actual race format. Racing generally starts around 1130 with briefing before on Saturdays.
Clubs have showers, changing rooms and food available.
Details and NOR for each event on the hosting club website above.
We hope to see lots of sailors at each venue.
