The Youth National Match Racing Championship will be held over the August Bank Holiday - Sat 23rd - Mon 25th August 2003 at Weymouth (WPSA). The age limit is under 20 on 31st December 2003 - ie one year after youth squad.
There will be a prize for the best under 17 team.
This is an excellent opportunity to start bigger boat racing. The championship is raced in the RYA's identical 25ft Beneteau Keelboats with crews of 4, 5 or even 6 sailors who in total must weigh less than 340kilos.
During this year's Optimist Nationals I intend to run some evening training probably Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August at 5pm. There will be a small charge for this training to cover running costs of the boats. If you are interested I will give more details at Weymouth or you can contact me on 01243 641175.
