The 2000 Class is pleased to be able to publish events for 2022, and thank all of the clubs involved for helping put together a range of events for our sailors.

Following a shortened season in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, we hope 2022 has something for everyone, and we can get back to a full series of events.

The season includes:

Training and coaching at two events.
Millennium Series consisting of seven events, with title sponsorship from West Country Boat Repairs. It is great news that our 2021 sponsor is returning for 2022.
National Championship at Castle Cove over a full week in the summer.
Inland Championship at Weir Wood SC.
Euro holiday event at Carnac YC, France.
Welsh Championship at Cardiff Bay YC.
