These events are being run at clubs across Wales to give junior sailors a fun introduction to taking part in racing events and are a great opportunity to progress skills or just get some extra time afloat beyond the Wednesday evening sessions.
There will be a training day led by an RYA coach on the Saturday which is free for TSC junior members and then races on the Sunday for £20 entry with visitor junior sailors from other clubs joining for the weekend.
These events are suitable for those with Stage 2 and above with plenty of support available on and off the water.
