Easter is approaching quickly and with that is the Easter Regatta hosted by The Manx Sailing and Cruising Club.

After a good winter of sailing at Injerbreck, there should hopefully be a great turn out of boats, with some new boats keen to show what they have got on the first sailing event on the sea this year. The RS200 fleet is now stronger than ever and the racing should prove close and exciting. There should also be some tusseling between the faster handicap boats with some new 505s and the National 18s.

This year the regatta is intended to be run as a one day event and will be held on Saturday 15th April. The racing is scheduled to start at 11.00am and it is hoped to run 3 races. There will be a regatta tea provided afterwards and there will also be the prize giving for the Injebreck winter series.

Sunday 16th is down as a reserve day, should the conditions be unsuitable for Saturday.
