Once again, Bough Beech Sailing Club is holding our Icicle Open Series, running for eight Sundays through January and February 2026, starting on 4th January.

We run two fleets - a conventional and an asymmetric fleet - 2 races per day, with the possibility of running an extra race if we need to catch up any missed races from earlier in the series. All information, including the NoR, SIs and the Online Noticeboard can be found here. The Online Noticeboard will be used to communicate information throughout the series.

Enter the series here.

We are also running our second Youth Icicle Open Series, on 17th and 31st January, 7th and 28th February. Like the main Icicle Series, there will be 2 races per day but in one handicap fleet. It is open to anyone under the age of 19 years on 17th January 2026. This is an absolute bargain anyway, but if you are already entered into our main Icicle Series, this series is totally free! All the information can be found here.

This was incredibly successful last year and we are looking forward to another fantastic series this year. Enter here.
