Ginger Boats Bass Week entry opens in 8 days (midday on 1st April). It's just 129 days until Ginger Boats Bass Week, which will take place from August 2nd to 10th on Bassenthwaite Lake, one of the largest bodies of water in Cumbria.

We are thrilled to announce Ginger Boats as the official title sponsor for 2025. Based in Cumbria, Ginger Boats has been a proud supporter of the event. Owners Alex and Olivia, both members of Bassenthwaite Sailing Club, are regular participants in the event—often seen racing RS400s and, on occasion, racing Mirrors with their young daughters.

Bass Week has been a staple for sailors of all levels for decades, from local club members to world champions. It's known for its competitive racing, an exciting social programme for all ages, breathtaking views of the fells, and the best vantage point of Skiddaw mountain. On-site camping offers exceptional value, with 9 days of sailing and 9 nights of camping for less than £250 for two people sailing a double-handed boat and camping in a tent. Be sure to register early to take advantage of the discount!

This regatta will welcome over 300 racers from across the UK. Throughout the week, there will be activities for the whole family, including 9 days of competitive racing, children's parties, nightly entertainment such as live music, discos, a quiz night, and the highly anticipated Commodore's Reception.

Entries open at midday on April 1st via the Ginger Boats Bass Week website: www.bassweek.org.uk. We expect a record number of entries this year, so we encourage anyone with caravans or motorhomes to register early on April 1st. Don't miss out on significant discounts available before June 2025!
