A Budworth Rota Sailing Event

Budworth leads 73 competitors on the first leg!

Budworth once again entered a team for the prestigious and gruelling 24 hour race
Last year the team had finished 9^th in 2006 and were pleased to be starting in the first flight.

For those of you who haven’t been to the event, or know little about this extraordinary competition, it is a race that on average 70 teams race either GPs, Enterprises or Larks around the marina lake for 24hours starting at midday on the Saturday and finishing midday on Sunday.

It is the ‘Le Mans’ of sailing and sailors of all abilities from across the country descended on West Lancs Yacht Club. The event is always a ‘whose who’ of the sailing world with many top sailors coming from many different classes arrive (with the excuse of competitive sailing) to have a good social and reunion with old friends.
