12-17 August 2012
Seventy Cadets heading to Torquay for this year's TridentUK National and Open Championship will only make worse the traditional summer congestion on the roads of the west country!
Entries from Alton Water, Castle Cove, Corinthian Otters, Exe, Fishers Green, Frensham Pond, King George, Parkstone, Royal Lymington, Royal Torbay, South Cerney, Stone, Tamesis, Thorpe Bay,
Waldringfield and West Kirby will be joined by five Belgian crews.
Ten races are scheduled, with teams divided into Gold, Silver and Bronze fleets. TridentUK.com have generously given a number of super prizes, including two top-of-the-range drysuits!
At the end of the event, the team to represent GBR at this year's World Championships in Hobart will be announced. Ten places are up for grabs. Two selector events comprising twelve races have already taken place and the coming week's results will decide who puts their Cadet into a container and hopes that it reaches Tasmania in time for Christmas! For other Cadet sailors, the results from the Nationals will be taken into account in determining the 2012/13 UKNCCA National and RYA National Junior squads.
Bring on the wind (but not too much).
