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…
Nette Robinson will be on hand again to provide activities for non-sailors. Blow the cobwebs away and start your day off with a fun and lively Zumba session, followed by an abs class! In the afternoons there will be a host of creative pursuits to get involved with, such as art classes, singing, chess and belly dance!
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.
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.
