THE UK WAS THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE SB20 (BACK IN 2002) AND RACING TOOK PLACE ON THE SOLENT. SINCE THEN THE FLEET HAS SPREAD NATIONWIDE AND NOW GONE GLOBAL, HOWEVER WE STILL HAVE A STRONG UK FLEET, PARTICULARLY IN THE SOLENT. ON THE RACING SIDE WE CURRENTLY ORGANISE TWO SB20 SERIES IN THE UK, INCLUDING THE SB20 UK NATIONAL SERIES AND THE SB20 SOLENT SERIES.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SAIL IN THE UK?
OVER THE YEAR WE ORGANISE A FEW COACHING EVENTS. THESE TRAINING DAYS CONCENTRATE ON RACING PERFORMANCE AND ARE FOR NEW SB20 SAILORS AND OLD HANDS. FROM EARLY IN THE SEASON WE HAVE THE “SATURDAY OF THE FROSTBITE CHAMPIONSHIPS”, NATIONAL SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIPS, LATER IN THE SEASON WE RUN SATURDAY OF THE INLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS AND LOCALLY ORGANISED WEEKEND EVENTS. CHECK THE CALENDAR OF EVENT FOR EXACT DATES! THROUGHOUT THE SEASON WE MEET UP INFORMALLY, USUALLY IN A PUB AND USUALLY ON AN EVENT WEEKEND. YOU DON’T OF COURSE HAVE TO BE AT THE EVENT TO JOIN US, ANYONE AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
