On Saturday 16th April, the organisers are
expecting between 30 and 50 boats. However, being the first one,
they will not know the exact number of entrants until the
day.
This is the first time Welton has had the
opportunity to run this event. It is open to young people aged 18
and under and is for single handed sailing. It is supported by the
Royal Yachting Association (RYA).
