On the 17th December, the Polar Pursuit is returning to Chase Sailing Club for another year!

With the race having been curtailed in 2021 due to thick fog, we are really looking forward to welcoming you all back for a 2hr pursuit race on the best lake in the midlands.

Chase Sailing Club is a great central location for all visitors, set in the beautiful surroundings of Chasewater country park boasting a 900-hectare reservoir which will offer some very exciting, tight racing.

With plenty to do in the surrounding area why not bring the family along as well? Having started in 2018, the event steadily grew into a 40+ turnout in 2021.

The event is open to all monohull (non keel) dinghies with a PY between 1390-900, and with an entry fee of just £3 for single handers and £6 for double handers, don't miss out on this great excuse to avoid Christmas shopping and come sailing instead.

Entry is available online here, along with SIs, NOR & Start Times: www.chasesc.org.uk/event/656353

Entry is limited to 60 boats, so make sure you don't miss out!

Hope to see you all there.
