Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club Winter programme starts

by Phil Whitehead 2 Nov 2012 08:32 GMT 4 November 2012 - 24 February 2013

This year's winter programme starts with the open Frostbite series (4th November to 23rd December) followed by the Open Icicle series (30th December to 24th February).

This is a golden opportunity for members of local clubs that normally close for the winter months at the end of November, December, January and February to continue sailing and also experience a larger piece of water.

Apart from regular turnouts of 30+ dinghies of all handicap classes, one can experience the new club house's features of underfloor heating, hot showers, great hot food from the galley and unparallelled views for the spectators across the Yorkshire moors.

There is a saving on fees for entering both series (see www.yorkshiredales.sc for membership fees and daily rates) and the fees include a free berth for the duration. Keep an eye open for the Brass Monkey event on the 27th December (more details to follow on www.yorkshiredales.sc).
