The 2024 National championships of the RYA National Hornet class hosted by Dabchicks Sailing Club is on the approach this weekend. In true Hornet Class Style, half the fleet have been sailing all through the autumn, winter and spring, however a few unnamed participants are dragging the boats out of the garage as we write this.
Sailors wait in great anticipation as we have been promised typical British summer weather and decent breeze....
As usual, the contest for the trophy looks to be hotly contested with a number of teams looking to add to the number of their names on the plaque, as well as a few wild cards looking to pick it up for the first time.
Due to a last minute change of circumstances we also have a class boat available for loan so please get in touch with the class if you're interested.
In addition to the top prize, courtesy of sponsor Exe Sails the fleets will be competing for an extensive list of trophies including the famed Haggis trophy (mixed crew), the Tiger's head (Juniors), the four-pint Contech Tankard (Combination series) provided by local ex-Hornet sailor Simon Wakefield. The winners get to fill the tankard to its brim with their favourite tipple.
We look forward to seeing everyone and basking in the Essex sunshine!
With thanks to our sponsor, Exe Sails.
