Druridge Bay

9th to 10th May 2026

Our Druridge Bay event is hosted by Coquet Shorebase Trust.

Camping is available on site for a fee, tents and small campervans are welcome on site but caravans have to be booked seperately.

The first race on Saturday is at 1pm with the last race not starting after 4:30pm.
The first race on Sunday is 11am with the last race not starting after 3pm.

If you can only make one day out of the two you will still qualify for a result.

As the first event of the season it is arguably the most welcoming, inland and being a small lake it is sure to make even the most uneasy sailor feel confident.
