The starts for each sailing will take place within minutes of the Ullswater Steamer arriving at Howtown. The cruise lasts approximately 30 minutes, so the starts will be at 09.30, 10.30 and 11.30. Results for the Trail Race will include both 10am and 11am sailings for the fastest times for the prize winners and for the final results.
An alternative course will be used, should the weather conditions prevent the Ullswater Steamers from sailing.
There is an age limit of 16 for the senior 12km events.
