Event: National Championships
11-14 Aug 2024
Open to these classes: Racing will take place over 4 days and a maximum of 16 races are scheduled. Olympic style courses will be set in the challenging tidal river Medway. At least one of the races will be sailed "round the cans" with a special course using more of the river.
The club is located near the motorway network making it easily accessible for those coming from afar. Some East coast clubs are an easy day sail away. It is anticipated that there will be about 25 competitors from clubs across the whole country including the South and East coasts, Ullswater, etc.
Medway Yacht Club offers fantastic club facilities so you will be able to enjoy the après sailing as well.
The club has an ample area for parking, road trailers, etc and offers a free launch, recovery and mast stepping for competing yachts that arrive by road. Mooring will be on the club all-tide pontoon and a launch service is provided to the Gillingham/Chatham side of the river for ease of getting to and from hotels and other accommodation.
The club has an on-site campsite. Tents to hire will be offered or bring your own tents. Caravans and camper vans can also be accommodated.
We are in discussions with several exciting sponsors to offer prizes. Entries go live in February and fees are set at £175 for early birds before 1st May 2024 and £200 thereafter.
