The Datchet Flyer is a brand new event scheduled for 14th and 15th December 2013, as part of the GJW Direct Winter Series.
Bringing together the best of winter sailing and Christmas festivities, the Flyer also hosts
the SailRacer Christmas Ball amidst 2 days of handicap and pursuit racing on Queen
Mother Reservoir, overlooked by Windsor Castle.
The 'Flyer' will consist of three handicap races on Saturday, scored on average laps of the
same course to enable an overall set of results to be generated. In traditional Winter
Series style the Sunday will feature a long distance pursuit race. All boats racing will be
fitted with GPS tracker units with the action streamed live via the internet and available to
analyse after racing.
