The UK’s Second Topaz Uno National Championship!
Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st August 2016
Whitstable Yacht Club is proud to be hosting UK’s second Topaz Uno Championship on 20th and 21st August 2016. The event is supported by Ronstan and Topper International.
Whitstable Yacht Club has a long tradition of organising events at Club, National and International Levels. Four championship races will be held off Whitstable Yacht Club.
The aim is to have a fun and exciting weekend with the hope of attracting a complete range of competitors to the Championship from young cadets to seasoned sailors. The first Nationals, held in 2015, had a wide mix of ages and abilities competing, and was won overall by 14 year old Max Sellar from Whitstable!
This year's first prize will be a Topaz Uno Mylar Race Main provided by Topper Sailboats, worth £400, as well as other great prizes from Ronstan, and every entry will receive a FREE JIB* from Topper International!
It is hoped that the UK’s second nationals will attract 30-40 boats. Already the event has received interest from sailors around the world including, Ireland, Abu Dhabi and Greece which will add an international flavour to the event!
‘The Topaz Uno Class is an exciting new class for Whitstable Yacht Club, which is rapidly expanding and we expect a very good turnout for the Championship, sailing at one of the oldest and largest clubs in the UK. We’re offering a fun packed weekend for sailors of all ages. It should be a Fantastic Event’ said Robert Govier, Whitstable Yacht Club’s Rear Commodore (Sailing)
Whitstable offers some of the best sailing conditions in the south-east, with great fleet racing (especially the Topaz Uno, Tasars, Lasers and Catamarans), and the town is also a great holiday destination for shopping, restaurants, and pubs. There's plenty of space to park your boat, a great chandlery right next door, and you can find details of accommodation here
*Free jib for all Topaz Uno boat owners entering the event. Jib will be provided on application to Topper Sailboats following the event. Additional terms and conditions may apply. Please check with WYC or Topper Sailboats before entry.
