The Larks are planning a free "RYA Covid-compliant Nationals" in Plymouth on 17/18 October.

Plymouth is one of the top venues in the country. The event will be hosted by Royal Western YC as part of their Final Fling regatta, following RYA guidelines.

Uniquely, due to minimal class expenditure this year, the Lark class will 'give something back' by covering the cost of members' entries (up to 12 October, non-members just need to join). The event also includes free boat parking, free car parking on-site and free burger after sailing on Saturday.

Full details can be found at nationals.larkclass.org
