Hosted by Royal Southern Yacht Club, the three-day #rockupandrace event will determine which four teams will win a ticket to compete in the SAILING Champions League 2024.
With quick-fire fast turnaround racing, teamwork and tactics will be at a premium and the competition will be close as teams battle it out in the club's fleet of J 70 keelboats.
The event starts Friday (29 September 2023) and among those competing will be Team Chichester, Marconi SC, Royal Northern & Clyde YC, Rutland SC and West Hoe SC.
Peter Ward, BKL 2023 Coordinator, said: "It will be a really exciting weekend with a really strong fleet and a packed schedule of full-on racing, with the top teams from all of the qualifiers and including five teams of young sailors which is fantastic.
"All will be hoping to win through to represent their clubs in the European SAILING Champions League in 2024 so the scene is set for a brilliant weekend of keelboat racing!"
There were five BKL qualifiers in 2023 hosted by Strathclyde University in Scotland, Marconi SC on the east coast, Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy for the BKL Sailability Championship, Rutland SC in the Midlands, and Royal Southern YC for the BKL Women's Championship.
