Grafham Water Sailing Club Statement
As many of you will be aware the forecasts for the next three days including Sunday, the day of the Grand Prix, are of extremely cold weather. On Sunday itself the forecast is for temperatures to barely rise above freezing at any point during the day, and there will be a significant wind chill factor. In the light of these conditions we have taken the reluctant decision to cancel the Grand Prix. In doing so we have considered the safety and well-being of both competitors and volunteer helpers, not only on the water itself but also off the water rigging, launching and derigging, and driving to and from the event.
We understand some of you may be disappointed by this decision, but we think it is the appropriate one given the conditions.

We are currently exploring the possibility of rescheduling the event before the conclusion of the 2025/26 Seldén Sailjuice Winter Series and will contact you again shortly to confirm the situation.
