Lancaster has got a distinguished maritime history, before silt and other technical considerations necessitated the shift to Glasson. Perhaps the suggestion to relocate to Glasson, where at least there are a few more boats, is an idea worth considering. It would certainly mirror the history of the area. I lived in Lancaster, for example, but the Boat Band(that I play with) first set sail from Glasson Dock(to Liverpool, then Scottish island gigs). A maritme festival in Glasson at least has rthe merit you can boat to it easily and moor up with no trouble, surely quite an important consideration for a sea event.
