Put Sunday 5th March 2017 in your diaries for the Bewl Blaster open meeting for all handicap classes. With a number of local frostbite series finishing at the end of February, this is a great opportunity to sail at one of the largest stretches of water in SE England.

Last year's event was very popular and was a real blast with high winds and sparkling sunshine. All details are on the Notice of Race, which can be found on the Bewl Sailing Association website.
