50th Anniversary Events

UKLA Roadmap Back to Racing

After a lot of thought and deliberation over the latest Covid rules, we have concluded the event we had hope to run at WPNSA in April (8th /9th) is not possible given the restrictions we will be living under. Providing the current government roadmap stands then we are confident we can re-start UKLA events soon.

FIFTY YEARS OF THE ILCA

This year is our 50th anniversary and we plan to celebrate the success of our class with a few special events.

The first event being at WPNSA on 8/9 May, with the ILCA 4s & 7s racing on Saturday and ILCA 6s on Sunday. There will be 3 races each day. We hope to start taking entries for the event in early April.

We will be looking for volunteers to help run the above event, if you can help then please volunteer through our new portal

Stokes Bay SC, in conjunction with UKLA, are planning to hold a 50th Anniversary Celebration event on 19/20 June. The event will be open to ILCA 6 / 7 rigs over 2 days, with a meal on the Saturday night.

The warm friendly welcome from Stokes Bay ensures this will be a fantastic event, make sure you enter early to avoid disappointment. Watch the UKLA website for further details.

13-18 August sees our annual National Championships at WPNSA where we plan to continue our 50th Anniversary celebrations.

ILCA 4’s

For the ILCA 4s sailors we realise the Nationals clash with the last couple of days of the ILCA 4 Worlds in Ireland. To help and encourage as many ILCA 4 sailors to compete in both events we have shortened the ILCA 4 Nationals to 3 days starting on the Monday and finishing on Wednesday. For those sailors not attending the ILCA 4 Worlds we are going to organise a special two-day warm up 50th Anniversary event over the weekend (14 th & 15 th August) at WPNSA, which will run along side the ILCA 6 & 7 Nationals.

Our Super Grand Prix events will also be part of this year’s celebrations so don’t forget about them!

Hopefully after a difficult start to the year, by the time we get to summer we will back to a busy sailing program.
