The RYA Youth Sailing Brititsh National Championships is making a much-anticipated return to Wales in 2022 – and entries are now open for the Irish Sea event.
The week-long regatta heads to Plas Heli, the Welsh National Sailing Academy in Pwllheli, North Wales, for the first time since 2016.
The regatta will take place from April 9 to 15 against the backdrop of the beautiful Cardigan Bay, and will be the first time that all current British Youth Sailing youth pathway classes have competed at the same event.
A full foiling compliment of iQFOiL and kitefoil classes will feature alongside the ILCA 6 and 7, the 420, 29er and Nacra 15.
Mark Nicholls, the RYA’s Youth Racing Manager, said: “We are really happy to be heading back to Plas Heli for the 2022 RYA Youth National Championships.
“It’s a stunning location and we know from past regattas there that it can deliver outstanding, world-class racing.
“What’s more, all of the current British Youth Sailing youth pathway classes will be showcased this year in what’s set to be a real spectacle of youth racing.”
Entries received before February 21 will be eligible for a reduced fee of £180 for single-handers and £240 for double-handers. The standard entry fee is £210 for single-handers and £280 for double-handers.
Entries after March 19 will be subject to a late entry fee.
The RYA is also on the hunt for volunteers, both shore-based and on-water, to help make the event a success. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact youthnationals@rya.org.uk.
