Wow, with four months to go before 2021 Supernova Nationals entries have reached a staggering 128 boats. With the biggest entry in the history of the class, it's sure to be an amazing event and there is still time to sign on with entry not closing until 31st May 2021.

Also, we are pleased to announce than the class has joined up with Allen who will support this event alongside Hartley Boats. Allen is kindly providing every helm with a gift, as well as providing vouchers which the class association will distribute to winning helms. With the backing of these fantastic organisations the class association has been able to secure some big prizes and special offers for all helms who attend registration.

Class chairman Iain Barlow said, "We are delighted with the support we have received from our class members, Hartley Boats and Allen. Plymouth Youth Sailing at Mount Batten are a fantastic setup and have superb facilities, we are still accepting entries so if you haven't signed up there is still time. There are few single class events that are able to achieve these number and personally I can't wait to get onto the start line."

The Supernova Class Association is working closely with Plymouth Youth Sailing to ensure that a considerate and safe event takes place in accordance with the national guidance as it emerges and locally reviewed risk management plans.
