Birkett 2019 entries now open

Published 12:52 on 25 Apr 2019

The quest for the 'Holy Grail' of a Birkett win attracts keen sailors from national champions to novices from all over the country in a wide range of different boats all racing the full length of Ullswater and back on both days. The winner will not only take home the sought-after Birkett silver salver but also get to spend a night at the luxury hotel, the Sharrow Bay. The club's next door neighbour, the prestigious Sharrow Bay country house hotel has generously offered a prize for the winner – bed and breakfast for two.

Entries for the 57th Birkett are online only through the SailRacer website. Competitors are urged to enter early as the event, with a limit of 230 boats, is so popular it is always oversubscribed. The closing date is Sunday, June 23 at 9pm The link is: http://enter.sailracer.org/events/event-v2.asp?eventid=214205
