Applications have opened for a World Match Racing Tour event and training camp taking place at London's Queen Mary Sailing Club in a joint initiative with RYA British Keelboat Sailing.
Match racing sailors are invited to register their interest for what is set to be an international Grade 2 event, with easy access via Heathrow Airport just a stone's throw from the club. Three days of match racing in symmetrically-rigged RS21s will take place from Friday 15 October to Sunday 17 October 2021 for up to 16 teams, comprising four or five sailors weighing no more than 350kgs in total, with a practice day on Thursday 14 October.
Organisers are also excited to announce that following a new partnership between RS Sailing and the World Match Racing Tour designed to grow participation, the event will be preceded by a three-day WMRT Academy in RS21s for up to 10 teams, led by six-time world match racing champion Ian Williams. The training camp from Monday 11 October to Wednesday 13 October will likewise be for teams of four or five sailors up to 350kg and will cost £700 per team.
The deadline for teams wanting to apply for the WMRT Academy and/or the WMRT Event is midnight Wednesday 08 September 2021 and invitations will be sent out by Friday 10 September.
