Venue Information Overview

The 2021 Early Summer Championships will be held at two neighbouring venues.

Grafham Water Sailing Club (GWSC) will host main fleet (max 150 sailors), while the neighbouring Grafham Water Centre (GWC) will host regatta fleet (max 50 sailors).

For families with children in both fleets, it will be possible to move between the two sites only via the main driveway entrances (which are next to each other). Movement between sites will be limited to only that which is necessary.

It is possible to book camping/campervans spaces at both sites. However, Grafham Water Centre (GWC) has far greater capacity and is also offering family rooms (see below).
