2022 UKLA Events

Let’s start with a quick summary of 2021.

After a slow start to the season with cancellations, we eventually kicked off with the 50th Anniversary events in the south and rolled through calm waters of Stokes Bay, harbour and bay sailing at WPNSA, lakes in Scotland, waves at Pevensey, Grand Prix events across the country and all the way to the freaky conditions at Rutland with training still running through the winter. What a fantastic year we had in the end!

As we come to the end of 2021, it is time to start planning for 2022 season. Your UKLA have worked hard over the last few months to put some great events in the diary.

Following the cancellation of our nationals at Abersoch next year, we are busy working to find a new venue, we hope to make announcement ASAP.
