4 out of 5 races to count. the fleet will be divided into Old,
Classic, Vintage as usual.

Refreshments will be available all weekend.

Costs not known yet (but inexpensive)

 

Lake:

Shearwater is a small kidney shaped laked on the Longleat estate. It is quite beautiful although the winds can sometimes be a little fickle. Lease terms limit boats to a maximum 16ft length and single hulls - sorry no Shearwaters on Shearwater!

Food

Saturday lunchtime rolls/sandwiches availble at modest cost.
Saturday evening a meal in the clubhouse Chicken Chasseur or vegetable lasagna. Homemade desserts. and a free pint of local beer or wine all for 7.50.
Sunday lunchtime
soup with a roll and hunk of cheese ( again at a very modest cost)

It would help us to know numbers for the evening meal ( very well recieved last year it was too.)
