On the weekend of 5/6 April, Whitefriars Sailing Club on the Cotswold Water Park will be invaded by a hoard of British Moth and Lightning 368 sailors. This follows last year's very successful joint weekend.
The Saturday will be given over to early season coaching, run by Class Champions and Traveller Series' winners, so plenty of expertise to share, with the aim of making sailing more enjoyable for everyone, by giving sailors the skills needed to get round the course fast.
If you would like to try out a British Moth or a Lightning on Saturday 5th, pop on over and we will organize you a go!
Saturday night will be both a BBQ, and a chance for the sailors from the 2 classes to mingle - it is amazing how few opportunities there are to meet the sailors of other types of boat during the season.
Sunday will be a traditional Open Meeting, giving the sailors a chance to put into practice everything they learned the day before!
