The weekend of the 21st & 22nd of March promises to be a busy one both on and off the water at Leigh & Lowton sailing club as, on the Saturday, we play host the RS200 Northern tour while on both days we also have the RS400 winter championships.

The RS200s start their racing at 11am on the Saturday and there is a discounted early entry fee of £12 if entered via Webcollect before the 19th March.

The RS400s start their championships at midday on Saturday and again there is a discounted entry fee of £35 if you enter before the 19th March. Entry fee for the 400s includes an evening meal for two people and the chance to compete in the RS400 Indoor Championship organised by Hamish & Rachel Gledhill. Fun for all the family.

Small teams will compete against each other for the grand prize and is likely to be as hotly contested as the sailing will be. The bar will of course be open all evening. RS200 sailors are welcome to stay for an evening meal and the games night and take their chances against the big boys.

So, get your RS down to Leigh & Lowton sailing club this weekend for what promises to be a highly competitive weekend of full on sailing and social entertainment.
