Please volunteer for one or more sessions. (31/07/2011) Online entry - Staged payment option As a Class we recognise that at times meeting the financial demands that sailing can bring will pose challenges. We have therefore decided to introduce an option for staged payments of entry fees. As you follow the entry process the entry system will enable you to opt for staged payments or payment in full. If you opt for staged payments you will be asked to make an initial payment of 25% of the entry fee with a further 25% due on the 1st April and the balance due on the 1st June, via 'Manage your Entry' on the event web site. Please note that paying by instalments is not intended to facilitate the payment of a deposit, enabling a sailor to withdraw at a later stage and receive a refund of the entry fee paid to date. (28/07/2011) Try out a Laser 4.7, radial or RS Feva at the Nationals If you'd like to try sailing one of these youth boats please use the link from this heading to sign up.
