Firefly Weekend

Our annual Firefly Weekend is not far away on 1st and 2nd November. Saturday see's the Twisted Tube, an incredibly fun Random Pairs Team Racing Day, whilst Sunday is our Firefly Open Meeting, always a great day of close quarters racing.

Club boats are available to hire on both days so come and join the fun!

New Washdown Station

You may have heard over the last couple of years lots of talk about a new washdown station being funded and installed by Wessex Water to help us control the presence of Invasive Non-Native Species in our lake. The latest news is this construction work will being on 1st December, and we are having a site meeting with the builders this week! We will keep you updated as we find out more details.
