Come and experience a day of thrills on June 15th 2009!
This is a unique opportunity to race a Farr 45 with two of the most promising UK sailing teams campaigning for both, selection and Olympic medals in London 2012.
You will join 49er Sailors Dave Evans and Simon Hiscocks and 470 sailors Hannah Mills and Katrina Hughes and a crew of 8 guests at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, the Venue for the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Regatta.
