The entry fee has been kept ridiculously low at just €50, and with 4 weeks of boat storage and lifts in/out for only €100 you can’t go wrong! The boats can go into the compound at the club from the 1st April, and will be able to stay there until the end of April in preparation for the Northern Champs in Carrickfergus at the beginning of May. The 1st April is also the last day entries will be accepted by the club.

This event is a great way of getting back ‘into the groove’ for the season, and with the weather getting better by the day I know there are a few people out there just itching to get on the water.

Any questions, please see the forum posts under Events & Sponsorship. Go on, give this ‘recession’ the middle finger & let’s get racing!
