The first event of the National 12 2018 Gul series and the OK North Sails traveller series will take place at Burghfield Sailing Club on Saturday 17th of March. The aim of the day is sprint racing - fast and furious, quick turnarounds and lots of challenging fun. As many races as possible over the course of the day on a simple course. Starting is the key!

Event details and pre-registration can be found at webcollect.org.uk/burghfield/event/2018-national-12-ok-open-meeting

There is a £5 discount for pre-registering, with pre-registration closing on the 14th of March.

There will be training for the OKs on Sunday 18th March organised by Andy Rushworth with the help of the Burghfield fleet. Planned finish after an early(ish) start will be around lunchtime so people can get away at a reasonable time.
