All launching and landing will take place at Pembrokeshire Yacht club, we have access to the slipway from our compound and can assist with getting your boats into and out of the water. We are planning to host (basic) camping next to our club on some grassland, however there are also a number of campsites close to Milford Haven (where the event is hosted) as well as some hotels and b&b etc (something for all budgets).
The fee to enter the weekend racing is £17.50 per adult, which includes the saturday sprints – knockout heats of 1250m sprints out, round a buoy and back, as well as the long race on Sunday which is approx 8 miles down the cleddau river, towards the Irish sea and back – again with some turns to make it a bit more fun.
We will have food and drinks available throughout the weekend and have evening entertainment booked for Saturday and Sunday evenings too – so you can really make a weekend of it!
It would be great to see some of you at the event, we have a handicap system in place to allow different craft to compete against each other, so you will not be racing on your own, every boat on the water is a contender!
