If you want fast and furious racing and the chance to sharpen up your boat-handling skills then Stewartby is the place to be this Saturday 18th April for the Scorpion Sprint Championships.

The club is situated just 5 minutes off junction 13 of the M1 so makes it easy for southerners and northerners alike to get to.

This is the first time the Scorpion class have run this event and with a series of short sharp 10 minute races over a windward leeward course it promises to be a great event. Racing starts at 11am with a briefing at 10.30am.

We hope to see you all there!
