Optimist Open at Banbury Sailing Club - Preview

by Paula Irish 24 Apr 2014 09:36 BST 26 April 2014

Banbury Sailing Club is expecting Optimist sailors from across the region and beyond for its Optimist Open this Saturday, April 26.

The club is accepting entries on the day following technical issues with the class association website. The entry fee is £15 per boat, with registration from 8.30am and the warning signal for the first race at 10:25am.

There will be one fleet but the back of the fleet will benefit from coaching.

Banbury Sailing Club is about two miles from Byfield on the A361 Banbury to Daventry road, between the villages of Byfield and Upper Boddington in Northamptonshire, close to the borders of Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
