The WLYC 24 Hour Race is the UK’s No.1 dinghy endurance race. It is the premiere opportunity for Sailing Club teams to compete for serious trophies (and status), whilst also enjoying the unique hospitality provided by one of the best social events in the dinghy racing calendar.

This year the event is on the weekend of 11th and 12th September (yes, a week earlier than last year). The fun starts on Friday with a pre-race party in the marquee, with the race starting at noon on Saturday. Camping is available on site and both West Lancs YC and Southport SC will be open for food and drink throughout the weekend.

This year we are only currently planning on entering one team. If you are interested in sailing over the weekend, please complete the form available at http://tiny.cc/bsc24hr2010

If you don’t fancy sailing, we’re always in need of a team of helpers off the water with timekeeping and cheering so feel free to come along anyway!

You can find out more about the event at http://24-hour-race.wlyc.org.uk/ or ask at the club.

See you there!

Andrew.
