What is included for the money you pay?

If you came to our previous events, you may have noticed that we like to keep you busy. Our fantastic race team will do their best to deliver some great racing in the bay (fingers & toes crossed for great sailing conditions!), and the on shore team have worked in the background for months to make sure you fell that you are attending a top event.

There will be something for everyone; sailors, support crews, parents and volunteers. Check out the event schedule

Morning Race Clinic

Every day there will be a Race Clinic. These will be led by top sailors at the event and will cover various topics from set up/rigging to boat speed down wind, from pre race strategy to wave technique. A great opportunity to listen to our best sailors, see what they do differently, and ask them those questions that you’ve always wanted answered. (How much kicker should I be using up wind in 6 knots etc. etc?…)

Q&A Panel

To kick off the evenings events, you will have the opportunity to question the day's winners at the Daily Prize Giving from Monday to Friday.

Mentor/Mentee Scheme (check it out here)

We are hoping everyone will get involved with the Mentor/Mentee Scheme at the Nationals. It’s a great way to meet fellow sailors and get some sailing tips and encouragement.

Apply for a mentor to have a more experienced sailor guide you through the event. You will be able to meet your mentor before the start of the event (Sunday night)

There will even be prizes awarded for most improved Mentee/Mentor pairing, based on which Mentors get nominated by their Mentees and also the most improved Mentee from Day 1 to Day 6.

Running events for non-sailors

Have you heard of the Hayling Chaser? This year we are having a Weymouth Chaser! Once sailors have launched, we will have a 5k handicap race. Why just sit one shore? If you are a parent or supporter, get something for yourself out of the week. Go for a run or volunteer or both!
