Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy 2008

The first weekend in July saw 17 DRSC boats travel to Ullswater for the Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy. This race, open to all classes of boat, attracts over 200 entrants. With a mass start right outside the clubhouse the course takes you all the way down the lake and back to finish in front of the club house.

This is a race everyone must do. Although this year the weather wasn’t the kindest with plenty of rain and depending where and when, either plenty of wind or no wind.

This was our first year but we’ll be back for more next year.
