Lapwing events taking place in 2018.
Racing
There is a lot of racing available for the Lapwings.
Information about all these Lapwing races as well as those for other classes of boat can also be found in the Aldeburgh Yacht Club's Calendar.
Wednesday Evening Racing
The Lapwings have their own start in the Wednesday evening race series. This runs every Wednesday from 26th April. The first start is at 6.30pm. Do join in when you can, evening racing is great fun and there is usually a supper in the clubhouse afterwards.
Aldeburgh Classic Boat Festival
Last year saw the first Aldeburgh Classic Boat Weekend and Lapwings were very well represented there, despite unfriendly weather. This year the date has changed to earlier in the season and hopefully the weather will be more clement. Do come and join in on the 10th-11th June 2017 -- pit your Lapwing against other wooden boats.
There are also Lapwing-specific races throughout the season.
Saturday 28 July-Sunday 29 July. Junior Lapwing Weekend.
Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th August. The Lapwing World Championships, racing for the Margaret Tudor Bowl.
Monday 13th August - Friday 17th August. Junior Regatta, including a Lapwing Start for the first time in many years.
Sunday 19th August - Friday 24th August. Aldeburgh Regatta, with a dedicated Lapwing Start.
Saturday 1st September. 11 a.m. Acheson Trophy.
Sunday 23rd September. Silver Lapwings. A race to Iken beach followed by tea and cakes on the beach, as a birthday celebration for Lapwing no 1 and her owner, Jill Fowles.
Every Wednesday afternoon there is Ladies Who Launch, which despite its name is open to sailors of both sexes and is generally dominated by Lapwings. Please see the separate LWL tab.
