'Pro-Set ® Epoxy Propels Ovington Boats' 2025 Celebration of Flying Fifteens

The Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy 'WPSNA' will be hosting three championships in one with the UK Nationals and Pre-Worlds and the World and International Championships between 10th-21st August. Entry closes on 31st May 2025 - enter here.

The International Championship is targeted for Classic, Silver and Open Fleets who either do not wish to compete in the World Championship, or did not qualify. Its aim is to be a fun and relaxed event with no qualification necessary, so really is open to all, importantly those entering this event will benefit from the social events of the Worlds and be a part of the 'World Championship' experience, so an ideal event for those that in future years may wish to enter a Worlds or for any ff Club sailor just wishing to join in the fun. The sailing will all be within the protected Portland harbour.

During the UK Nationals there will be a coach ashore and, on the water, providing a debrief giving all sailors an opportunity to tweak their performance prior to the World Championship. There is a full social programme during the event, including post racing drinks on race days.

The organising committee are delighted to announce sponsorship from the following:

Wessex Resins, 'Pro-Set'
Ovington boats
