RYA Regional Youth Championships

BYS Regional Junior Championships is a festival for all junior sailors who are leaning to sail in club boats, through to Regional Training Group sailors in the Recognised Junior Class. At this event we will be running three fleets, Championship, Coached Regatta and OnBoard Fleet. 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 BYS Values and Behaviours and showing a passion for the sport. There are also Club Trophies for the club that has the most entries and the club which has the largest increase in sailors at the event.
