After a thorough review of the circumstances (both afloat and ashore), we feel we have no option but to cancel the 2021 edition of the West Lancashire Yacht Club 24 Hour Dinghy Race on Southport's Marine Lake.

Now we have made that decision, we are going to concentrate on staging the 2022 race, making it a great event for all. [Subject to confirmation, we expect the date for next year to be Saturday / Sunday 10/11 September 2022.]
