This weekend (29/30 March) sees the second event of the GP14 Grand Prix traveller series, sponsored by Craftinsure. The fleet are heading to Chase Sailing Club, an excellent piece of sailing water just outside of Brownhills for the Gul Midland and East Coast Championships.

Racing gets underway at midday on the Saturday for a six race series. Entries are already open at www.gp14.org at a cost of £25 to association members, £40 to none-members. To allow the team to organise catering (£7), the championship committee would really appreciate your entry prior to Midnight on Wednesday (26th). Entries after midnight are at the discretion of the host club and will hit your wallet with a £15 late entry fee.

Please don't leave it to the last minute - with 20 boats already in, it promises to be an excellent opening to the 2014 calendar.
