The final opportunity for teams to qualify for the national final of the British Keelboat League for 2019 will be on the 14th and 15th September at the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club. Aiming to be the headline venue for keelboat racing in Scotland, the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club was proud to host the 2018 Blind Match Racing World Championship.

Entering this event will give teams the chance to experience racing in one of the new RS21 keelboats. The weekend will comprise of a fleet of RS21’s and up to 12 teams from local clubs competing in quickfire “sprint” races, each lasting around 15 minutes. Races will be umpired, and teams will rotate between boats in the fleet throughout the weekend of racing. By Sunday afternoon every team will have competed in approximately 12 races and the top 3 teams identified for qualification into the national final. The 2019 final will be hosted by Royal Thames Yacht Club later in the year.

All you need to do is enter your team and arrive at the club ready for racing on the Saturday morning!
