Wimbleball Sailing Club are pleased to confirm the Exmoor Beastie is scheduled for 12.00 noon on Sunday 22nd March 2026.

The Lake is full (no surprise there), the setting is superb, and coupled with a hospitable welcome, backed up with galley and licensed offerings in play, there is no reason to stay at home.

The race is a 3-hour handicap pursuit for boats with a handicap under 1208 using the Great Lakes yardsticks.
