Model yacht sailing has been taking place in Southwold for over 100 years. A tremendously fun and absorbing activity which is easy to get the hang of. People of all ages and abilities can join in. Anyone is welcome to come and have a go – we can even lend you a boat for the day and show you what to do.
Races this morning, in the afternoon the Championships, for each of A, B and C boat classes – according to age of sailor and length of boat, as follows: Class A: boat of 27-36 inches, sailor any age; Class B: boat of 21-26 inches, sailor 18 or under; Class C: boat of 15-20 inches, sailor 13 and under.
