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
