Another Christmas, another Boxing Day Bash at Budworth Sailing Club in aid of RNLI. We look forward to welcoming sailors and spectators from across the North West and beyond to a festive day of handicap racing.

Sail off all that turkey, Christmas pudding and chocolate and get some fresh air out on the beautiful Mere here at Budworth, or simply enjoy the social from the shore, with all proceeds going to the RNLI.

Pay on the day or via the website. We look forward to welcoming you!

Entry:

  • Single Handers £10 (£8 Junior)
  • Double Handers £15 (£10 Junior)
Pay on the day or via our website.
  • 12:00-16:00, 26th December at Budworth Sailing Club, Warrington Road, Great Budworth, CW96HA
  • Two races scheduled starting 12:00
  • Briefing at 11:30

Starts for:

  • Single Handed Handicap

Those who have been before will recall this as a festive handicap racing day, for sailing junkies fed up with the turkey, stuffing and Christmas pudding, looking to ease those waistbands and get the blood pumping again. And those not wanting to sail? Just come along for the social and the spectacle.
