The OK class are just ten days away from their 2025 National Championships, which are this year being hosted by Dabchicks Sailing Club.

With the 2025 sailing season already showing some great racing, it's expected that the fleet will enjoy come close and competitive sailing. The club have arranged a great programme of racing and social events, and sailors and their families are looking forward to exploring West Mersea and the Blackwater estuary.

With some key 'names' from the fleet committed to sailing in other classes this year there could be some new names appearing on trophies. Watch this space for more information - and sign up to join in the fun via www.okdinghy.co.uk/ok-dinghy-british-class-association-nationals
