Craftinsure Lark Class Winter Championships Yachts & Yachting Report
Published 12:35 on 22 Nov 2023
The biggest Lark Class sailing weekend of the year took place over the weekend of 18th/19th November at Barnt Green Sailing Club for the Craftinsure Lark Class Winter Championships. It was a chilly reminder of the delights of the Peaky Blinders countryside but super friendly, despite the sometimes machine gun wielding, local sailors.
