Solway Yacht Club might just be the perfect National 12 venue. The beautiful setting of Kippford on the Solway Firth offers the best of open water sailing out near the mouth of the estuary and a challenge for the river specialists.
And if you're not sailing, it's a lovely area of the country to explore. Add to that the legendary warm welcome the 12s are always given at Solway and you have the perfect weekend on the coast.
This year Solway Yacht Club host the National 12 Scottish Championships and the 6th round of the Gul Series. There will be 3 races in the bay on Saturday and the "Craning Out" supper with the club on Saturday evening.
On the Sunday there will be another race in the bay followed by the famous Palnackie race. The winners will take home a spectacular trophy and there will be prizes throughout the fleet courtesy of our generous series sponsors Gul.
If you've sailed at Solway before, you won't need any more persuading, but if not, don't miss out this year!
