Classic prize for a Classic Enterprise at the Inland Championships

by Enterprise Association 25 Feb 2014 10:20 GMT 26-27 April 2013

The Enterprise Association are pleased to announce sponsorship from Open Top Touring Ltd for the Classic Boat prize at this year's Inlands.

The event will be held at Draycote Water on April 26/27th and this is the first time classic boats will race within the main fleet for their own trophy and prize. The winner will be the first boat with a pre 20,000 sail number to finish outside the top ten overall in the event.

As well as a new perpetual trophy to be competed for, the winner will also receive a gift voucher giving them the 24 hour hire of a classic sports car on the beautiful Suffolk Coast.

With more than 50% of the membership of the association owning older boats the committee felt it was time to recognise the stalwarts of the class who may feel out-gunned by the latest boats and give them a reason for coming to a major championship.

It's time then to dust off our classic, check the wheel bearings, blow up the tyres and join in the great racing and social scene at Draycote.
