Queen Mary Sailing Club (QMSC) is excited to announce that the iconic GJW Direct Bloody Mary pursuit race is back.
Following a two-year break thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Bloody Mary, the 6th leg of the SailJuice Winter Series, will take place on 7 January 2023 at QMSC in Ashford, Middlesex.
This world-renowned event, once again being sponsored by insurance company GJW Direct, is open to all non-foiling dinghy classes with a PY number equal to or lower than an International Topper, as well as to selected keelboat classes.
The last Bloody Mary we hosted here at QM in 2020 was amazing. There were 288 entries, representing 59 classes from 120 clubs, with 95 juniors and 23 Grand Masters. Our 2023 event promises to be bigger and better than ever as many sailors get back to racing following the pandemic. The QM team is busy making all the preparations behind the scenes to ensure all participants get the very most out of the day."
The two-and-a-half hour race starts at 12 noon with the slowest boat going first followed progressively by the faster boats, according to their handicap rating.
If you're brave enough to take part in this classic race, see the Online entry form which will close at midnight on 6 January 2023 and once again there will be an entry limit, so early entry is advised to avoid disappointment.
