National Sailing Championships at Grafham

Over the weekend of 11th / 12th September, windsurfers assembled at Grafham Water for the National Windsurf Championships. It was a fantastic weekend, with a lot of hard racing on the Saturday, but unfortunately the wind didn’t materialise on the Sunday. The kids still made the best of it with some of the coaches putting on some water fun activities.

Results can be found on our Team15 Results page, or here on the UK Windsurfing Results page.
