Are you part of a smaller dinghy class looking for a fantastic venue to host your National Championships?

Following the successful staging of the Signet National Championships during Abersoch Dinghy Week 2026, which attracted 11 boats and delivered a highly enjoyable and competitive event, we are keen to welcome other smaller fleets to join us from 24-30 July 2027.

By incorporating your Nationals within one of the UK's most established sailing regattas, you can benefit from first-class race management, excellent shoreside facilities and a vibrant sailing atmosphere, without the burden of organising a standalone event.

Why choose Abersoch Dinghy Week?

  • Sensible and competitive entry fees
  • Beautiful racing waters in Cardigan Bay
  • A full programme of social events
  • Daily prize draws
  • Strong sponsorship support
  • Professional race management
  • A friendly and welcoming sailing community

Whether your fleet typically attracts 8, 12 or 20 boats, we'd be delighted to discuss how we can help create a successful National Championship within the week's programme.

If your class is interested, please get in touch and we'll be happy to explain the options available and how we can tailor the event to suit your fleet. Contact

Abersoch Dinghy Week - 24-30 July 2027 - Great racing, great socials, great sailing.
