Bewl Autumn Regatta Monday 28 August |
|
On the August Bank Holiday Monday there is a Open Regatta event at Bewl with a multitude of short course handicap races that AQSC will be supporting. All members are invited to come along. |
|
The first start is around 11:00. Each race lasts for about 30 minutes; the next race starts as soon as the previous one has finished with a break for lunch. They usually manage about 5 races. |
|
The entry fee should be around £6 for single hander and £12 for two hander boats. |
|
Bewl Water is a beautiful 900 Acre reservoir three miles long in the natural surroundings of the Kent countryside. Apart from a sailing club with 1200 boats there is fishing, a nature reserve, nature trails, walks and a very well equipped children's play area. This is the largest bit of water in South East England just past Lamberhurst on the A21 Hastings road; about one hour travel from the Kingston By-pass. The reservoir has a length of about 5 miles. At the entrance mention Sailing Regatta to avoid the car park fee. |
|
The club does the usual snacks and there are good local pubs for evening food. |
|
Although the Club has about 1200 boats there are only about 50 boats out and the individual starts are small except short course racing has mass starts. |
|
The regatta is our ticket for sailing at Bewl, normally there isn't visitor's day sailing, and I urge you enter the racing and make some starts even if you don't take it too seriously |
|
There is a Bewl leaflet on the club notice board. |
