National 12 85th Anniversary Regatta to be held in September

by Graham Camm 31 Mar 2021 11:22 PDT 11-12 September 2021

The National 12 class are holding a celebration weekend event for our 85th birthday on the 11th and 12th September 2021 at Northampton Sailing Club.

All current, past and future N12 sailors, enthusiasts and supporters are invited to enjoy a weekend of National 12 sailing and socialising (yes, we are truly hopeful that Boris will allow us to socialise by September!).

There will be one day of fleet racing followed by a 'Grand Pursuit Race' with the oldest N12s starting first. Previously this race has been won by iconic and vintage N12s. There will be a Concours D'Elegance Trophy and plenty of prizes to go around.

There are lots of crewing opportunities available and also a wide range of boats from vintage to modern available to borrow for competent helms for the weekend. If you'd like to crew then please mail and if you need a crew or a boat then select these options in the registration form.

Please register for the event here.
