The Plan

The North Sea Cup event and the UKWA event will run side by side, with most races counting towards both events. NB: There is a specific set of Sailing Instructions for the North Sea Cup event.

However the north sea cup event will not begin before 12 noon therefore there will be a race for the UKWA fleet at the normal start time prior to the first joint race.

The last possible start for the North Sea Cup will be 3pm on Sunday 3rd. There may be additional racing for the UKWA fleet.

REMEMBER: Plans can change, watch the flags and watch the official notice board
