As well as GP events look out for the Super Grand Prix (SGP) events - fun weekends aimed at all levels -Club sailors come along and learn from top coaches on the Saturday, have a fun meal/social Saturday night, and have some great class racing on the Sunday.

Now some info about my own region - Midlands Grand Prix Region
Well, hopefully it’s going to be a great season in 2022! The sun is shining and there’s a nice breeze as I type…
The Midlands events are all up and running so come along and enjoy some great class racing.
There is a brill events page on the UKLA web site with the dates of each event on it.
We now have a dedicated Grand Prix page which should be fully updated and up and running within the next few weeks (currently still work in progress)
in the meantime, click here for the Midlands Web Page or Facebook group
The season started with a great welcome at Shustoke SC with everyone being made to feel welcome and some fantastic racing. As with all racing on the Midlands region the handicaps for ILCA 4, 6 and 7 were used and the event was won by an ILCA 6 sailed by George Faraday from Bartley SC.
So, no matter what your age or skill level come and join the circuit and enjoy some of the best fleet racing there is.
Book a date …SUPER GRAND PRIX (SGP)
This is posh talk for a weekend of fun, coaching and racing…
Carsington sailing club June 25th and 26th with top class coach Tim Hulse booked for training. A great social Saturday night and racing Sunday. Limited numbers are available for Saturday so when the booking opens secure your place. Of course you’re welcome just to turn up Sunday and race.
A huge thanks goes to Joe Scurrah for helping out this year. So, be kind to him as we are all volunteer workers in this. He is a sailwave guru and is doing the results …
Happy smiley sailing days!
