Off-Water & Non-Sailors Programme

"...one of the busiest, most fun, action packed

sailing related weeks I’ve ever had."

 (Gareth Edwards, Radial 203320)

Off-Water Schedule 2022

At the Nationals you can be sure of a great week on and off the water.  Why not check out the Off-Water programme below and why not join in with what's on offer?

Every morning (except Friday) there will be an opportunity for learning at the Race Clinics from some of our top sailors.

The Race Clinics will happen straight after the Morning Welcome at which you will hear any important news about the day's racing or other announcements. (PRO’s notes will also be available on line).

There will be something going on every evening, kicking off with a Daily Prize Giving, Q&A Session with the day's winners at 7.00 pm followed by the Prize Draw. Our generous sponsors will be providing the prizes. After the Draw there will a special feature each day: the Quiz, the Sports Night, the AGM, and of course the highlight of the UKLA Nationals is always the Black Tie Ovington Gala Dinner! (see below) Don't forget to book your place for this...(we were at capacity every time previously) so we suggest you book sooner rather than later!

Also during the event there will be the annual Hike Off - self policing till Monday and final on Tuesday at the Sports Night.
