Bass Week 2010
Bassenthwaite Regatta Week 31st July – 8th August 2010
Bassenthwaite Sailing Club invites you to join us for our annual regatta week, offering wonderful sailing in a great family environment and in a setting of unrivalled natural beauty. Bass Week is a family regatta that ranks amongst the most popular open events in the North of England.
The Club site offers excellent launching, beaching and limited camping facilities and the well appointed Clubhouse commands views across the Lake. Social functions are arranged each day (for those sailors with spare energy) ranging from a gentle quiz (the competitive spirit continues) to discos and live entertainment etc, including a full programme of events for children.
Trident UK will again be providing an on-site chandlery service throughout the week.
As ever, there will also be on-site caterers providing a range of meals and snacks throughout the day, a drying area for wet sailing gear, and not forgetting the fully stocked bar to keep you hydrated!
Racing is organised for Laser, Enterprise, RS200, GP14 in fleets together with highly competitive and diverse handicaps fleets split in to fast (PN 850-1000), Medium (PN 1001-1125), Slow (PN 1126-1200) and Topper/Mirror handicap. As previously, additional fleet starts may be granted to any class having sufficient entrants.
Racing is organised daily with short series being held over each weekend and on the Wednesday; other races are stand alone and include two pursuits. Friday afternoon is taken over by junior (under 19), ladies and over 60s racing. We have many highly valued sponsors in place for a large proportion of our racing programme.
All in all a hectic week, but you're able to take part or opt out as you please - If you want to spend a day in Keswick, or mountain biking through the forests so be it, but you are certain to enjoy yourself!
Full programme and entry form available shortly.
