LASER PERFORMANCE UK LASER OPEN AND NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020 MOUNTS BAY SAILING CLUB 25th -31st July
Mounts Bay is a fantastic location! Great for family holiday, great for sailing, surfing, beach games, sun bathing…
As our Nationals coincides with the 2020 Olympics, we’ve arranged a special exclusive report with top sailing journalist Andy Rice from Sail Juice to be shown post racing on Monday 27th July. Naturally, we will be showing coverage of the Laser Racing from Japan throughout the week.
We are hoping to welcome many sailors from overseas as we did in 2019 as well as many from the UK. In fact the first night is to be called the Commodore's Welcome Evening - kindly sponsored by MBSC - to include an Italian Themed meal absolutely free for all competitors!
There'll be themed evenings every night with great food for £7, (ordered in advance) including Moroccan Evening, Curry Night, Chile Night, as well as the now famous Gala Dinner on the Thursday Night for £26.50 per head (ordered in advance). You can also look forward to SUP Racing, the Hike Off, Games Night, live music, and a trip to St. Michael's Mount with a Reception by Lord and Lady St. Levan.
If you want to improve your sailing there will be Race Clinics in the mornings, Q and A sessions in the Evenings, and the Mentor/Mentee Scheme running throughout the week.
Entries opening soon. Website still under construction, but you can see it here:
Book your accommodation now – there is a basic field where you can camp near the dinghy park or here is a link to the club’s accommodation list-

Also, you can check out the event on the UKLA Facebook page. Connect with fellow competitors,
join the discussion, find out who has room on their boat trailer and offer to hook up
with others.
If you'd like to join our new team for this year's event, we'd love to hear from you!
We're looking for lots of people who can capture the event throughout the week,
whether that's by taking photographs, videoing, interviewing sailors in the dinghy
park or uploading media to Facebook and Instagram.
We're also looking for people to bring SUP’s for the SUP Relay Race, help
with registration, results, reports, prize draws, trophies…Would you like to donate a
trophy? Endeavour and Vintage still available at the moment!
