RYA Regional Junior Championships (Oxford SC)
The Regional Junior Championships event is a festival for all junior sailors who are learning to sail in club boats, through to racing sailors in recognised junior classes (Optimist, Topper 4.2, Topper 5.3, Tera, RS Feva XL, ILCA 4). There are three fleets; championship, regatta and OnBoard. With the three different fleets there should be something for your level of sailing. Along with prizes for event winners, there will be a range of prizes for sailors exhibiting the British Youth Sailing Values and Behaviours and showing a passion for the sport. There is also the Club Trophy for the club that has the most entries at the event.
