Description

Norman Birkett has given his name to Ullswater Yacht Club's most well-known and sought-after trophy. The Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy race has become the Holy Grail for competitive sailors from all over the country.

It is so highly rated that the magazine Yachts and Yachting put it at number eight in the top 50 'must do' sailing events and it regularly attracts the limit of 230 entries. The Birkett was honoured with the Cumbria Tourism Event of the Year Award in 2016.

It has a magic like no other sailing event and anyone who has ever been on that shore-to-shore start line with the magnificent view down the lake will never forget it.

The 63rd Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy will be held on the weekend of 5^th and 6^th July 2025.
