It's 150 days to Bassenthwaite Sailing Club's Craftinsure Bass week, held from 30th July to 7th August on one of Cumbria's largest bodies of water, Bassenthwaite Lake.
4 miles in length and ¾ mile wide, Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the Lake District's areas of outstanding natural beauty. From club sailors to world champions, for decades Bass Week has attracted visitors from all over the country, renowned for competitive racing on the water, a fantastic social programme for all the family, stunning scenery of the fells and the best view of Skiddaw mountain. Camping on site makes inclusive entry exceptional value, with 9 days sailing and 9 nights camping only £209 in total, for two people sailing a doublehander!
The regatta will see over 300 racers from up and down the country visit the area for the 9 day regatta. Throughout the week there will be multiple events for all the family, including 9 days of competitive racing, children's parties, nightly varied entertainment incorporating live music, a quiz night and the all important Commodores reception. The club council are hopeful for a restriction free event, further information will be shared nearer the event as the Covid picture becomes clearer. Some of the positives from Bass Week 2021, including the popular coffee stall and visiting food vans, will be returning!
