BADER FIELD OCT. 4-7, 2018

NABSA EAST COAST FALL BLOKART SAIL, 2018

BADER FIELD, ATLANTIC CITY,NJ OCTOBER 4 - 7

The Fall blokart Sailing event will be at Bader Field. Brigantine is only 3 miles from Bader Field if anyone wants to hit the beach. 

Bader has plenty of room for racing and practice dial up starts as well as plenty of room for individual sailing at the same time. New this year the event will also have a Team Enduro Race and possibly a individual enduro.There will be workshops on sailing  technique  and equipment.The runways and  tie down area are in excellent condition. The only  problem you might have is wearing out tires if the wind is strong and you are pushing it. 

                                      

I do pay a daily fee of $300.00 to rent the airport; attendees will be expected to chip in to cover site rental and other cost. 

 South West flies into Philadelphia (PHL), 64 miles from Bader Field. Atlantic City (ACY) airport is 10 miles away and has limited service. Newark is also a option for flying in.

WILDWOOD BLOKART SAILING. OCT

We have had some awesome days sailing here on the east coast. North West fronts have started coming in producing strong off shore winds. Some of the winds have shown how valuable having a 2m sail is. A Nastier Than Snot Day is a good day for blokart  sailing.
