SUPER GRAND PRIX 2021 - Celebrating the Golden Anniversary!

There is still one more SGP event this year - 16/17 October - Staunton Harold SC

The UKLA is sponsoring the Super Grand Prix in 2021 so you get top quality coaching and racing for a fraction of the usual cost!

Don’t forget you must be a member of the UKLA to take part in a Super Grand Prix.

As well as the UKLA subsidising the coaching costs we are very excited to have 4 sponsors involved - Noble Marine, Ovington, Sailingfast and Southeast Sailboats. Thank you to all our sponsors.

The Castle Cove SGP was an awesome event- 2 days of ridiculously high winds (30 knts +) Well done to those that braved the elements on both days. -See the photos below!… Thanks to the great coaches- Dan Belben, Jake Bowhay and Jon Emmett. Also many thanks to Lucy Bishop for organising!

Following the success of our Super Grand Prix events in 2019 we are hoping to continue the experience in 2021 (Covid permitting!) For this special Golden Anniversary year the UKLA is planning to fund some of the coaching costs, including paying for a coach on the Sunday. The Sunday coaching would be for all racers- briefings/de briefings and on the water support. We want to give something back to our valued members, and it therefore goes without saying that to take part in a SGP you must be a UKLA member!

The Super Grand Prix (SGP) is a fun weekend event consisting of top quality coaching, evening social and competitive racing. Developed to encourage club sailors to take the first steps to an open meeting, and provide a bigger, more sociable event for everyone.

Primarily aimed at club sailors, but not exclusively so, valuing diversity in the fleet, encouraging all ages, gender and rigs to come together to celebrate everything that is the ILCA, with the emphasis on fun. Helping to grow and sustain a healthy club base across the regions, building confidence to take an active part, create ambassadors, whilst helping sailors develop skills and ability to get the most out of ILCA sailing.

There are currently three broad regions - South, Midlands and North.
