The Nationals are at Weymouth and Portland this year: Saturday 23rd - Monday 25th June

Details here: https://www.sprint15.com/events/EMS/event.php?id=165

The current plan is to have two days of racing in the open sea with the last day in Portland Harbour.

There is also a training session with Brian Phipps the day before on Friday 22nd.

After two very fortuitous years for me and Sophia, unfortunately we are unable to attempt to defend the title this year but can highly recommend attendance for all, regardless of ability. It will be a stupendous event so, get your entry in...

We can get your boats there if you don't want to sail.

Marconi have 6 entries. The world's largest Sprint 15 fleet, which is 120 miles nearer Weymouth has 1.

Entry price goes up in a few days.

Or stay behind and try and win the Cup of Shame at Shanklin.

Shanklin looks rubbish in this list: https://www.sprint15.com/events/EMS/Nat ... php?id=165

And we are the nearest major club.

There's 9 races in the same place that the London Olympics was held.

There is a wide range of abilities amongst those that have entered, just like at Shanklin. You are all good enough.

This really is as once in a lifetime opportunity so would strongly recommend doing it to anyone considering it.

The only reason I'm not is because I'm broken. If anyone wants to borrow my road trailer they are welcome.

I am sure you could provide yourself with some really strong drugs to limp round the course. Maybe we could duct-tape a broken tiller to your back as a splint?

Mend soonest.
