Early entry is now closed for the Draycote Youth Open sponsored by Fernhurst books, we are very pleased to see a record entry - 80 junior and youth sailors across 4 classes will be attending for the one day championship.

This event started 3 years ago with Draycote Academy sailors looking for more winter fleet racing opportunities, winter diaries are often full of endless training weekends. The opportunity to race and put some of the training into practice is proving very popular at this time of year when a day out and some fresh air is welcomed.

Draycote will run 2 courses with starts for Optimists, RS Teras and Toppers on one and ILCAs on the other course, 6s and 4s will be on separate starts. 4 races are scheduled for all fleets.

We have a limited number of late entries available till 5pm on the 29th December. Visit the link on WebCollect here.
