Now is your time... if you haven't heard, Netley Sailing Club on the sunny south coast is hosting this year's Mirror Nationals.

Netley Sailing Club is situated within the Royal Victoria Country Park, just outside of Southampton, with racing taking place on Southampton Water. If sea breezes kick in, you couldn't ask for a better sailing location, with the race area itself being situated very close to the club, so no long slogs to start lines and viewing for spectators from the club terrace.

Registration takes place from Wednesday 27th with racing being held over the 28th - 30th August and we have booked in sunshine and champagne sailing (our Commodore's words, not mine)!

We have a full evening programme set up, camping onsite and modern clubhouse facilities to cater for everyone. And with racing finishing on the Saturday, people are more than welcome to stay over after prize-giving, join in the evening fun and head home on Sunday (or stay and join club racing, if you still need a south coast sailing fix)!

To sign up for this year's Nationals, head over to the Netley SC's club website. Early bird entries close on the 1st August, so book up now!

The Notice of race can be found here - 2025 UK Mirror National Championships Notice of Race

We hope to see many of you here at Netley SC to make this a great Nationals.
