Need a boat or crew?

The Nationals is a great opportunity for new sailors to take part in their first 420 event and we would lilke to encourage as many sailors to attend the event.  There are a number of members who have more than one boat and who may be willing to loan a boat for you to get involved.  

We are also aware that some sailors may not have a regular crew; we are more than happy to try and put sailors together to enable them to attend the event.

If you are interested in attending the event but do not have boat or crew please complete the attached "Expression of Interest" form.  Link: Expression of Interest

Bow Numbers: the Class uses bow numbers.  Bow numbers are allocated to helms and stay with them regardless of what boat they sail.   A list of the current allocated bow numbers is detailed in the event documents.  If you need a bow number, please contact the class admin, Sharon ([email protected]).

For more details on bow numbers see the attached link.

Class AGM: the Class will hold it's AGM on Saturday 24th August.  All roles on the Committee will come up for election and we encourage people to step forward to fill these roles.  More information will be sent out in the coming weeks about the roles on the committee but if you have any questions/ are interested in a role please reach out to the current committee member who will be more than happy to talk about the role with you.
