The windsurf event will take place on Saturday 10 June at Datchet Sailing Club, whilst the sailors will compete at Grafham Water Sailing Club on 17-18 June 2023.
As a festival of junior sailing, both events will cater for all levels from rookies to experienced racers. While some might be competing to be crowned the best in their class or seeking selection for an RYA Regional Training Group, for others it will be a chance to develop their skills or take part in their first-ever regatta away from home.
Sailing will take place across three fleets – Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner – catering for every sailor.
Along with prizes for individual winners and performances across the fleets, there is a Club Trophy for the sailing club with the most entries and a Club Development Trophy for the sailing club with the largest increase in entry numbers from the previous year.
