    Island Barn Reservoir is a deep water raised reservoir giving open water inland sailing with no overhanding trees, islands or shallows. Come and join one of the fastest growing Aero fleets for the Spring Championships. Exact format to be determined by the weather on the day and number of entrants, but the plan for fair conditions is separate starts and fleet races for 5, 6, 7, 9 rigs.). If numbers in a fleet are very small we may combine starts.

    Please show your likely rig on entry - you can confirm or change on the day depending on the weather. Any boat changing rig during the event will be deemed a new entry with the new rig (though no additional fee will be required).

    Hot food will be available at lunchtime.

    Entry is via the club web site, there will be an additional £5 charge for entries on the day so please get those entries in early. Rigs may be changed on the day before racing (but if changed during the day counts as a new entry) but if you indicate likely rigs it really helps us plan.

    Sailing instructions will be available on the main club web site. The plan is for two races, break then two PM races but the OOD will confirm the schedule on the day depending on the weather explaining the schedule if different at the briefing. Briefing will be around 10:15 outside the clubhouse (unless it's raining when we will move inside).

    When you arrive, you will be asked to rig and get your boat to the top of the ramp as soon as you can. When you reach the top of the ramp you will be allocated a pontoon. Please move your boat to the shore using that near that pontoon so we can spread everyone out. There is plenty of room. Please do not block the upper bank but move your boat directly from the top of the ramp to the shore leaving enough space for following boats.
