The annual Frensham Frenzy Open takes place this year on Sunday 10th March 2019. Spring will have sprung, Storm Freya will have blown through, and hopefully a nice breeze will be blowing (fingers crossed!).
An ideal season opener, the Frenzy comprises two pursuit races, for monohulls under 16ft hull length and with Portsmouth Numbers between 940 and 1435 (broadly RS400 to Cadet) Starts for slowest boats will at 10:30 and 13:30, with a break ashore for lunch. Race duration is based on 75 minutes for an Enterprise (PY 1116).
Courses will use up to nine of the club's marks, providing a range of beats and downwind angles. Launching is straight-forward: no wet feet required regardless of wind direction. Competition is invariably hot, which combined with Frensham's famously challenging conditions guarantees great racing; it's truly never over until it's over on the Pond.
Entries numbers are limited to 50 - there were 40 starters last year - so to book you place simply email then complete your entry form on the day.
