Our Nationals dedicated page is up and running and we will be adding information on regular basis so be sure to check it out from time to time.

We plan to have two races per day from the Monday to Friday. Hayling has some of the best sailing waters in the UK - look out for those beautiful WAVES - so is a great place to race, and we’re really pleased to have the Nationals here again!

Off the water there’ll be the (possibly a bit mad!) Quiz, courtesy of Neil Peters, Vaikobi BBQ & Sports Night, Ovington Gala Dinner, Daily Prize Giving with Q&As, Race Clinics, Mentor/Mentee Scheme, The Hike Off Challenge, Hayling Chaser, Live Music, Prize Draws - lots of prizes to be won etc etc…
