The 2019 Europe Nationals will be held at the WPNSA © Europe class

Less than a week since the online entry opened, the UK Europe National Championships have already reached 30 entries! This matches the number of sailors on the start line at the 2019 National Championships, and with many more entries still to come, the event is set to be the biggest and best the UK class has ever seen. The UK Europe Class Association has recently had a great resurgence, with Nationals attendance increasing threefold between 2018 and 2019!

Since then, that growth has continued, with both new and used boats in high demand. Through the 'UK Europe Sailors' Facebook group, the friendly community of sailors offer advice and share stories and experiences for all to enjoy, and the class looks forward to continuing the welcoming and friendly atmosphere at WPNSA from the 18th-20th June!

If you are interested in joining this fun, exciting and growing class, make sure to join the 'UK Europe Sailors' group on Facebook, and take a look at the class website to find out all you need to know.
