Southport 24 Hour Race 2024
Published 11:42 on 16 Oct 2024
In September , Banbury ventured back to the revived Southport 24 Hour Dinghy Race. The club took part in the 2019 edition before COVID put the event on pause. This endurance race has been running annually since 1967 and this year, in order to ensure that we could all enjoy this unique event once more West Lancashire Yacht Club requested assistance from competitors to help with duties across the weekend.
The club took "old faithful" Penny Red and set to a fabulous 24 hours of sailing in some interesting conditions. Everyone greatly enjoyed the weekend - with socialising and sailing for all.
The event has been confirmed for 2025 and will be running 13-14th September and we're hoping to take 2 teams! All sailors of any ability are welcome to join the team. It's a great social both on and off the water and non sailors are also welcome to support from the shoreline. Please speak to Stuart Harris or Colin Russell if you want to find out more!
