Sunday 9th February sees the final round of the popular Blithfield Barrel Winter Series. It is set to be quite a showdown with any of the top three boats still in with a chance of walking away with the legendary Barrel trophy.
It's Merlin Rocket domination with Andy Davis sailing with Pippa Kilsby tied on points with Chris Gould & Caroline Croft on 7 points, Matt Biggs & Beka Jones are only 3 points behind. The forecast is looking quite fresh at the moment so anything could happen!
We have tons of prizes to pass down throughout the fleet thanks to our generous sponsors Harken, Hartley Boats, Birmingham Dinghy Services, Freedom Brewery and Creation Covers. Prizes are not only for overall series places, but as all the events are run as individual meetings there will be spot prizes for the day. With it being the Barrel finale, prizes will also include cash vouchers to spend at Hartley Boats.
The Blithfield race team are primed and ready to deliver a top meeting and leave us all set up for a great 2020 season!
The fun starts at 12 and is open to any monohull with a PY no lower than 860.
Great sailing - Great prizes - Great hospitality - Warm showers - Yummy cake
