This year the SB20s and K6s are sharing the venue. We are pleased to announce that Sailing Chandlery, the UK based online chandlery, is sponsoring these championships. The Championships begin with a series of sprint races on the first day followed by a further three days of racing on this iconic former Olympic sailing venue
