There's a huge array of dinghies and keelboats lining up to compete at this weekend's Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy, sponsored by Magic Marine. Hosted by Ullswater Yacht Club, the two-day event is going to be busy on and off the water with 230 boats entered.
They range from singlehanded dinghies and doublehanded hiking boats and skiffs through to a range of sportsboats and keelboats, all racing against each other under the Great Lakes handicap numbers that are used in the Selden Sailjuice Winter Series as well as this summer's new travellers circuit, the Sailjuice Challenge.
The Lord Birkett is being supported by Magic Marine who are making a big push into UK dinghy racing. Magic Marine's new trapeze harnesses are the first on the market to be officially approved under the new ISO standard for quick release systems - a development strongly recommended by World Sailing. Magic Marine is currently the only manufacturer to have passed the World Sailing CE / ISO 10862 certification for quick release.
More events are coming up in the Sailjuice Challenge this summer. For further information about how to get involved, either as a participating Class or a host Sailing Club,
