We are excited to bring back the Yachting (Keelboating) Championships for the 24-25 season in a BKL-style event!

PLEASE SCROLL FOR MORE INFORMATION

The SSS Keelboating Championship is a British Keelboating league event. During the weekend teams will compete in short sprint-like races aiming to be about 10 minutes long. The tight racing and matched boats allow for an exciting competition for sailors.
