ILCA UK National Training 26/27 » Weekend 1 - WPNSA

ILCA UK National Training - ILCA 4, 6 and 7

You must be an ILCA UK Member and meet the National Training Performance Criteria to participate in this event (Membership info and how to join). Places are limited, with a waiting list available. Additional coaches and groups can be added, so please join the waiting list early if the session is full. A minimum of six sailors is required for each group to run.

We encourage sailors to view the National Training at WPNSA as a series of training weekends and, once eligible, attend as many as possible for continuity of coaching. They will run from November 2026 to March 2027.

National Training is intended to benefit the more experienced ILCA sailor, in the top half of the male or female fleets, any age. Training is delivered by highly experienced and technical ILCA National level coaches. Eligibility criteria is outlined below.

Regional Open Training will also be made available over the same period, which is open to all abilities.

• If you have a valid reason for missing one of the National Open events listed above, you must submit a redress request in accordance with our policy by emailing scorer@ilca.uk before the event start date.
