Winter Series Sailing Arrangements
All races are based at the council-run Ferry Nab marina, with parking (charges here), slipway, mast hoist, pontoons, toilets and a covered refreshment stall – Dan’s Shack. Ferry Nab is located here.
The Marina are kindly offering a reduced berthing rate for Winter series competitors to include launching and retrieval. Costs below include VAT.
Entry forms will include an request for preferred berthing arrangement. Places will be allocated first come first served, in order of when bookings are received. We will contact entrants as soon as places are known to confirm berthing and allow accommodation and travel to be arranged.
We anticipate a fleet of up to 15 boats. Local boats will use their own berthing arrangements.
- Keelboats: Jetty berths at Windermere Marina, 5 places, special rate of £250
- Keelboats: Swinging moorings in Parsonage Bay (at Ferry Nab) and behind Belle Isle. 4 places. £150
- SB20’s: locked storage ashore in trailer park: £150

- A safety briefing is held at Dan’s Shack for all participants prior to the first race of the series. It is essential that each skipper attends this meeting.
After each race, results are announced upstairs in The Marina View bar and restaurant, over the road from the Ferry Nab entrance. The Marina View serves drinks, coffee and food. Menu here
