Video – UK Cadet 2016 Class National Championship 2016

Here’s a glimpse at what it’s like to take part in the Cadet Class National Championship at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) which took place last week.

Ben Warrington GBR 8541 & Katy Lloyd GBR 9029 were part of the 50+ fleet last week. If you think your children would enjoy participating at this level with entrants from Belgium & the Netherlands contact Howard Warrington or myself and we would be delighted to tell you more about life in the Cadet Class – for children & adults.

Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th September.  7 races in total.

Tickets are available for an informal meal on Saturday evening.

More information in Notice of Race attached.
