There is now less than one week until the pinnacle of National 12 sailing is about to unfold at Burton Week - the National 12 National Championship.
This year's edition of Burton Week takes place from 18th to 21st August 2024 at Felixstowe Ferry Sailing Club. The class have visited this excellent East Coast venue for Burton Week in 2022 and previously for open meetings and are looking forward to an excellent 2nd Burton Week here. With camping, catering and a well stocked bar on site, all the facilities you may require for a comfortable stay are at the venue
The Racing
At Burton Week you can expect seven races over four days, which is two races a day apart from the Monday where the fleet will race for the Sir William Burton Cup. There is just one discard over the four days - so use it wisely!
Sunday - After a competitors briefing the fleet will launch to start Burton Week 2024, with two back to back races. Time for the fleet to see who will be on the pace. Don't forget you can't win a championship on the first day but you can increase or decrease your chances of it!
Monday - The Sir William Burton Cup will be raced for, in the revised format which was extremely popular with the competitors in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The Sir William Burton Cup was gifted to the class in 1936 and has been raced for every year since then, apart from during World War 2, 2019 (no wind) and 2020 (Cancelled due to Covid-19 Pandemic). The cup is one of the oldest trophies in the UK Dinghy Scene and it is waiting for your name to be engraved on it!! There are plenty of prizes awarded throughout the fleet too, so if you're only able to make one day of Burton Week, this is the day to pick.
Tuesday & Wednesday - Two races each day, held back to back.
