Bassenthwaite Sailing Club's Great North Asymmetric Challenge (known as the GNAC) will be held on the 17th and 18th September. A firm favourite in the northern sailing calendar, last year entries almost topped 50 boats.

A multi-class event open to all asymmetric boats, in the past the GNAC has welcomed almost everything from Vareos to 49ers and VX Ones. The event will be an eight-race series sailed on windward/leeward courses.

With visitors from seven different sailing clubs already entered it's likely to be another busy one. This year's event is part of the RS200 and RS400 Northern Tour.

Camping is available on site for tents, caravans and motorhomes. The club (and bar) will be open from 17:00 on Friday September 16th. The first start will be at 13:00 on Saturday September 17th. Please enter by Wednesday 14th September here.

See you on the start line.
