Whats It All About?

- Open to all 10 to 18 year olds (typically RYA Stage 2+), whether youre keen to get into racing or just want to meet and sail with others your age.
- The series leads up to end-of-year awards and a chance to qualify for the National Schools Sailing Association (NSSA) National Regatta each July, a week-long, camping-and-sailing event with hundreds of young sailors from all over the UK.

How does it work?
Each meet stands alone, but the series leads up to a friendly end-of-year prize giving (including best newcomer, top three in fast and slow fleets, and more).Most events are low-pressure, with the emphasis on participation and fun, not just winning.The November trials decide which local sailors go on to represent the region at the NSSA National Regatta the following summer.
