YARE & BURE ONE DESIGN OPEN 2020
Saturday, 26th September 2020
CANCELLED DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER FORECAST
Venue: Thurne Mouth
Race Officer: Tom Moore
Due to Covid 19, the EACC Committee decided that we should not use the usual format for the YBOD weekend. However, the good news is that having consulted the RYA and other bodies, we feel we can adhere to the current Government guidelines and run a one-day event for YBODs with three races. We will however limit the entry to 15 boats – it may be necessary to split the starts for additional safety.
Do come and join us for some great river racing in a friendly social distanced environment to make the most of this bizarre sailing season.
MOORING: Please note there will be no mooring available on the club frontage on the day (opposite Thurne Dyke). There is mooring for 24 hrs on both sides of Thurne Dyke. The club moorings will only be available for use by berth holders and those organising the racing. There will be no evening event organised.
ENTRIES:
- Entries will be on a first come first served basis and limited to 15 boats.

- There will be no briefing and no signing in on the day. All helms will be invited to join a WhatsApp group for the event which will provide details of the course and starting sequence etc. Crews from different households are allowed.
Please note that if the weather conditions are challenging or if changes to the Covid 19 guidelines are such that the event needs to be cancelled, you will be notified via the WhatsApp group providing as much notice as possible.
