Supernova 2023 preview

 As the winter storms are lashing the UK it is time to look ahead to sunnier times and start thinking about getting your boats out of hibernation.

The Supernova Class Association has been busy building an exciting programme for 2023, featuring a mix of travellers events, Championship events and 3 FREE (for Association members) training days with RYA coaches.

The Class also provides FREE access to a brand new £10K+ epoxy Supernova for anyone who would like to try a boat. This loan boat can be booked for events including the Championship events.

The Association is grateful to its sponsors, Craftinsure and Hartley Boats for their continued support and commitment to the Class.

Travellers Events

The 2023 travellers events are shown below - a great mix of some established clubs as well as some new venues like Cardiff Bay who have a growing fleet.

Looking ahead to March we have two powerhouses of fleets - in the last few years both Cotswold and Bartley have had National Champions and won the coveted team prize (currently held by Bartley). Both clubs have had turnouts of over 40 boats for opens within the last few years so we expect these to be popular events to kick the year off.

Championship Events

There are three Championship events this year, with the big event of the year being the Nationals at the amazing Paington sailing club. What is great to see is the return of the Class to Grafham - it has been many years since we last visited Grafham, the former home of our Nationals. We expect this to be a popular venue for the Inlands. Get the dates in your diary now!
