NSSA Single Handed Team Racing
Toppers
Date & venue tbc but usually the last weekend in September or first weekend in October.
We are planning to send as many teams as possible. This is open to all sailors U19, you don't need to be a Topper sailor to participate. Boats are provided.
You don't necessarily need to have a parent with you to attend this event although we do need some adult support to assist with transport and supervision. You will need to join the NSSA as a personal member to attend this event (£10).
NEYYSA will allocate sailors to teams and their decision as to which sailors attend is final.
Information will be shared once it is available.

Eric Twiname Double Handed Youth & Junior Team Racing Championships
Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 October 2026. (Probably Oxford SC)
We will again be helping as many North teams as possible get entered into this event. Information will be sent out once it is available. This event is either 2 boat Feva teams or 3 boat Firefly teams.
In 2025 there were over 35 North sailors at the event and we had an absolute blast of a weekend, despite the wind not really playing ball! Photos below from the 2025 event.
NB: Our experience of the ET event is that it is pretty "full on" and for a more mellow & supportive introduction to team-racing we really encourage new to team-racers to participate in our regional event & the NSSA events first to find their team-racing sea-legs!
