The NOR and an introduction to the venue and race format is now available via the race calendar, or read it here
Racing is open to all, not just Masters.
The option to race on either the tidal estuary or the marine lake means that racing is guaranteed almost whatever the weather and is not limited by the tide, so don’t miss out on this great venue and some excellent Northern hospitality. Those that travelled last time were rewarded by a very friendly club and a well run event, so don’t let the distance put your off. Midlands and Northern members – we expect to see you there – this is your event!
Next up in the Traveller Series is the West Kirby open and Masters Championship. West Kirby provided a great venue and very warm welcome when the Finn fleet last visited 2 years ago, and this time are guaranteeing loads of great racing by using both the estuary and marine lake race courses, ensuring plenty of racing whatever the wind conditions.

The weather forecast looks ideal for the Finn Masters. The wind predictions are 9 to 20 knots on Saturday from a Southerly direction, giving ideal tidal and lake race conditions. Predictions for Sunday are for 18 to 25 knots, perfect for the Dee Estuary. There are 15 pre entry so far for the event. The NoRs and a list of available accommodation in and around West Kirby, can be found on the West Kirby Sailing Club website.
