At a time when the winter warriors are digging out their warmest kit and dusting the ice off their boats, the UK WASZP team has been working hard to arrange a massive year for 2022.
The UK sector of the world's most popular one-design foiler is set for its biggest year yet. In 2021, the UK fleet already broke WASZP records by delivering the highest national championship attendance of any country that the class has ever seen, with 56 boats on the starting line. For 2022, the target is for 70 boats to line up on Portland Harbour for the nationals, and there are plenty of other events for WASZP sailors to get stuck into.
The year kicks off with five training weekends all over the country, headed up by some of the top UK WASZP sailors, including the reigning European Champion, Matt Beck. Newcomers and experienced sailors are all encouraged to turn up, brave the cold and sharpen their foiling skills.
In March, the racing season gets under way at Datchet - a stronghold for the class. This marks the first leg of the seven event Grand Prix series. There is no better place to get the season going thanks to a very active and committed local fleet.
