In addition to prizes for the overall event winner, we have "Rising Star" prizes for sailors who have not previously been members of an RYA or IOCA training squad (aka Regatta fleet) and prizes for sailors competing in their first event. We look forward to welcoming some new faces!

There will be 4 races with two in the morning back to back, ashore for lunch and then two races in the afternoon. The competitor briefing will be at 10.30am with the first race at 11am. Competitors joining the training exercises in the morning should also be rigged and ready by 10.30am.

Coaching

Steph Harding, who has coached the Optimists in the RYA Zone Squad and Regional Training Group for several years, will be joining us for the day. In the morning there will be an additional briefing to build their confidence and then encouragement and support during the races for the regatta fleet (particularly the back few sailors).
