Coaching
There will an optional afterrnon coaching session on Sunday 3rd August run by top RS200 sailors - the perfect opportunity to suss out the venue, ask lots of questions and for newer sailors to build confidence and make sure the boat is set up and ready to go for race 1. Recommended for all levels, the coaching will take account of the objectives of all present. Spaces are limited, please book with entry - first come, first served!
Social Programme
Anyone who has sailed at the RS200 Nationals in the past will know that the socials are as legendary as the gate starts! There will be the usual BIG fancy dress party, the smart Championship Dinner and a warm Welsh welcome for all, including a special Captain's Reception.
Who can forget Paralympian Nikki Birrel as Noah and the 200 fleet as the animals in 2015! That is a very baby-faced John Teague, but can you name our other superstars?!
For 2025 we will be repeating the popular Karaoke and Masters' meal, reviving the 'Top Table Q&A' sessons and adding a chilled beach night.
More details, plus the announcement of this year's theme to follow!
Food, glorious food!
Once again, we'll be asking you to please book your food tickets in advance, tickets are not yet available, but rest assured, we'll be contacting you when they are! We say this every year, but we really do need everyone's help for the club to plan how many to cater for.
