Inland 5 - Whitwell SC
Sat 16th - Sun 17th October
About the Inland series
The Inland series objective is to provide high quality racing for all fleets & classes & to include all levels of ability. There will be racing suited to the most experienced and most competative racers, racing for the club/recreational sailor as well as racing for newcomers. Especially welcome are our junior fleets & classes who may be experiencing two day racing for the first time.
How does this work
At all Inland events there will be two courses.
Course one
On course one we will race all standard UKWA fleets. (6.8 Techno, 7.8 Techno, RS:X, Raceboard & Formula)
Course two
On course two we will race all RYA fleets (3.5 Open, 4.5 Open, 5.8 Open, 6.8 Open, 3.5 Techno, 4.5 Techno, 5.8 Techno.) Every effort will be made to make our junior sailors feel welcome, safe and above all having fun.
Whilst all competitors on course one will need to be members of the UKWA, our junior sailors on course two can be members of the UKWA or RYA.
The UK Inland Champion will be decided by ones best 4 results from the 5 inland events.
