A number of you may have noticed the fantastic performance of some of our younger class members at the recent RYA Youth s-Sailing Nationals. See news item here

The UKLA is now supporting regular online regattas using the Virtual Regatta Inshore platform or on the virtual regatta in-shore app. (Make sure you select the in-shore game on the website). This is an excellent platform to fine tune your racing tactic decisions, as well as your computer dexterity.

Races will take place every Saturday and Sunday at 4pm. The code for the race is "lasers", and participation will be free of charge.

As we are limited to only 20 people on each occasion and the regatta is limited to UKLA members only as we expect it may be oversubscribed. You are asked not to share the code or use it if you are not a member.

The sessions are expected to consist of 3 races of circa 10 minutes each, so that the start times for each subsequent race will be 4.00pm, 4.12pm, 4.24pm, and 4.36pm.

Because of the limit of 20 sailors per race, those wishing to take part are recommended to log into the system two minutes prior to the first race. The system accepts entrants with the correct code on a first come first served basis.

Initially we are starting out with a simple "friendly" practice racing, before considering expanding this out into a Lockdown Ladder Series.

Enjoy!
