The Bartley Beast is no match for Storm Darragh, so once again and with great regret we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the Bartley Beast this weekend.

With November having too little wind, and December having too much, we hope you will be able to make it on Saturday 11th January 2025 where finger crossed it will be perfect.

Thanks to Allen for their support. Details of the how to sign on for 11th January can be found here on the Bartley Sailing Club website.
