POSTPONEMENT NOTICE: Midlands Optimist Training
Published 17:59 on 7 Jan 2026
Stay warm, sailors! Due to the freezing temperatures and frozen reservoir conditions, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming 2-day training weekend at Barnt Green Sailing Club.
While we were excited to get back on the water, safety is our top priority—and right now, the reservoir is looking more like an ice rink than a race course!
The Good News?
We are working hard to reschedule this high-energy weekend so you can still get that expert coaching and video analysis.
Still Planning to Join Us? This event is OPEN TO BOTH MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS. If youre looking to level up your sailing game, sharpen your racing lines, or master those tacks, keep an eye on our page for the new dates!
- Where: Barnt Green Sailing Club
- Who: All MOA junior sailors (Open & Intermediate fleets) + BGSC Opi Sailors
- What stays the same: Expert coaching, tactical drills, and a fantastic atmosphere—just with slightly less ice!
Well share the revised dates as soon as they are confirmed. Thank you for your patience and stay cozy!
