Club vice-commodore Ian Pine said everyone who sails over the weekend is eligible to compete for the Keepit Kup, and all points over the weekend go towards the Keepit Kup and the Travellers Trophy.

"The club caters for all levels of ability of sailing from the very newest and youngest to those doing it as a lifetime sport," he said.

Sails will be hoisted from 9am on Saturday, March 14 and come down at 4pm on Sunday, March 15.

Mr Pine said it was a great weekend to bring the family out to the lake and catch a few races from the balcony of the clubhouse. There will also be evening entertainment.

"It will be the biggest one for some time," he said.
