NSSA National Regatta

The NSSA National youth regatta is an annual event which brings together about 250 young sailors from across the country for a week of competitive sailing. The young sailors compete as part of a team, usually representing a county. Most of the competitors camp in a large specially organised camp site with dedicated areas for each team, and there are various evening activities laid on to keep everyone entertained. This years event runs from July 23rd to 28th and is at Grafham Water. The organisers website is here.

We plan to take a team to represent Oxfordshire, and we want to make the team as inclusive as possible. As in previous years will be running a tryout day at Farmoor so that we can asses if young sailors are at a level where they are going to enjoy the event. The tryouts this year will be on the 8th April details are available by clicking here. Those invited to be part of the team will also be invited to a training weekend at Farmoor which we expect to be the 15th / 16th July.

Last years team did very well…. No pressure, just sayin….
