5th - 7th June: Southern Championships, WPNSA
We are going back to Weymouth!! There will be a two day "Southern Champs" at WPNSA on 6th and 7th June with training on Friday 5th. This is similar to what we had last year for the nationals, although I think we'll all be hoping for less wind.
Friday evening, resident Tweedle family have very kindly offered to host a BBQ (not sure is Hatti is aware of this yet)! Saturday night meal at WPNSA will be joint with the other classes who will be racing over the weekend

13th + 14th June: Stokes Bay Open Meeting
Stokes is a great bit of the Solent for dinghy racing and home club for two europes. With palm trees next to the club and a stunning view of the Isle of Wight it is very easy to forget just how close this club is to Gosport (...and Pompey)! Joint with the RS 300s and OKs as well as having camping available in the field, this promises to be a great social event with and excellent chance to play in the waves prior to the nationals.
The HQ for East Anglian Europe sailing with more boats than any other club in the UK. Beautiful beaches, fast tides and some canny local Europe sailors make this a great weekend getaway. Racing is 17.30 on Saturday and 07:00 on Sunday to match the tides. You'll be home in time to catch the carvery at your local.
3 days of racing in the exotic Hayling Bay, joint event with the Finn class. What a spectacle :D

This classic inland venue has easy launching and a 30 second walk from the clubhouse to the slipway. Camping available on site and a friendly club with a good bar and galley, we last went there in 2016 and had a great event. We hope this central location will be ideal for lots of UK Europistas.
