Calling all Lightning368 sailors...

This year, we'd love to obtain 'Fleet' status at the Lord Birkett. Several helms are already booked in - having had such a great time at this event over the last couple of years - and just need a couple more to commit to lift numbers just that little bit more.
The event isn't part of our 'Grand Prix' series, it's just for fun, so there's no pressure to race - just go sailing in the most unbelievably beautiful surroundings, followed by a fantastic off-water social.
The event takes place at Ullswater Yacht Club on the weekend of July 5th and 6th and details of entry can be found on SailRacer.
'The Birkett' is a fantastic weekend that sits really well with the 368's ethos of friendly, sociable sailing and, if we do manage to get the numbers, you could be the inaugural winner of the Lightning368 Fleet Award! Or you could simply sail around and join us for the serious part in the beer tent!
We have a 'Lord Birkett' thread running over in the forum on the class website, so take a look and get involved.
