UK National Championships

The class National Championships took place over 4 days in Portland. 50 boats signed in for the event and the early arrivals were greeted by Storm Nigel with lashing rain and high winds. After this there was excellent racing conditions out in Weymouth Bay until the next storm arrived on Saturday resulting in a wild and windy race in the harbour.

Plenty of usual suspects, some new pairings, plus some big names from outside of the class

Like many of us, I can remember when you just turned up at an Open Meeting and sat it out, drinking coffee, until some wind appeared.

The UK Flying Fifteen Association (UKFFA) is looking forward to the event with four days of racing in Weymouth Bay, weather permitting.
 

Online entry is open now, until 29 August. Late entries may be accepted on the day but please try to enter early to help with planning

The first weekend of Bass week saw 6 Classic and 5 Silver boats in a series of 4 races to determine who would be the Classic and Silver Champions for 2023

A quality fleet of 20 crews assembled for the Northern Area Championships despite the forecast and a great weekend's racing was had by all.
