The Bartley Beast is back for the final time of this series. Having been struck by poor weather early on, the series was shrunk to a 2 day series, but fortunately the last event saw good conditions and over 30 boats participating including a strong turnout from the Merlin Rocket fleet.

Allen Brothers have kindly sponsored the event, and we are grateful for their support which means there are some really good prizes up for grabs.

The final event takes place on 8th March 2025, and will comprise of 2 races for single and double handed fleets, and all visitors are welcome. We hear there might even be a few Low Rider International Moths joining us before their opening meeting on the 9th March.

Why not get some hot racing in before the class open circuits get going and have a chance of beating the beast!

The clubhouse is open from 9:30 with food available in the galley from 10:00 am.

Competitors briefing at 10:30 am and the first race warning signal will not be before 11:00am.
