This weekend (30th April – 2nd May) 68 of the country's best radio sailing skippers will descend on Castle Semple Loch near Lochwinnoch, south-west of Glasgow to battle for the 2022 International One Metre UK National Championship. Given the Covid situation, this is an impressive entry with skippers travelling from throughout the UK, USA, Sweden, Norway and Turkey to contend the title.

This event in the 2022 MYA IOM racing calendar is extremely important as selection for the IOM World Championship in Croatia later in the year is at stake. In attendance will be numerous World, European and National radio sailing champions among a fleet of well credentialed and experienced campaigners.

    2017 RG65 National Champion, 3rd 2011 IOM Worlds. 2nd 2021 UK IOM National Championship. You would be brave to bet against him. Will be sailing the sister ship to Gibson’s and Stollery's 11 year old BritPOP!
