This means that for the fleets 20th anniversary nationals, 120 boats (a 53 boat increase compared to the 2015 Nationals!) will be making there way to Llandudno Sailing Club. This is a fantastic accomplishment for any fleet, not least a fleet that has progressed and rapidly grown so much in such a short space of time.

The current builders, Mark and Richard Hartley, will be on the start line with their team from Hartley boats which is fantastic news. Other great news is also that the original builder, Mark Giles, will be attending a dinner with the rest of the fleet accompanied by his wife, Anne.
