After three events and eleven races completed, the Seldén SailJuice Winter Series is at the halfway point, with the next event being the King George Gallop in North London on 22 January. This is a one day dinghy event comprising of three races based on the Great Lakes Handicap system.

King George Sailing Club (KGSC) will be adhering strictly to the UK Government's current Covid guidelines. To make this event as safe as possible, KGSC will take the following steps:

  • An online briefing be delivered via zoom at 7pm on Friday 20th January. This will be recorded and remain available on Youtube over the weekend.
  • All entry and registration changes can be performed online. There will be no physical registration - simply collect your tracker to confirm participation.
  • There will be a maximum entry of just 70 boats.
  • Results will be made available online. There will be no formal prize-giving. This will instead be held via a Zoom call on Monday evening (24th Jan) at 7pm.
  • KGSC will not be making food available for this event - please bring your own packed lunch.
  • All non-exempt volunteers will wear masks wherever practicable - and KGSC asks competitors to do the same.
  • Hand sanitiser will be available around the site.
  • Competitors are encouraged to change and keep their kit bags in their cars. However, changing rooms and toilets will be available to those competitors who choose to use them.
