The early booking discount for this event at Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club finishes on May 1st, so there are only a couple of days left to take advantage of the offer by registering on the event website!

Now in its fifth year, 'Open North' is an annual training, coaching, social and racing event which caters for Laser Vago sailors of all levels of ability, presented in such a way that everyone, from beginners to experts, will benefit by sharing and learning.

Based at Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club, the 2015 Laser Vago Open North Event takes place on the second Bank Holiday weekend in May and includes full catering and free onsite camping as well as training, coaching and short duration racing for all formats of Vago. Topics will range from rigging and trapezing right through to race rules and tactics: and it's all with an emphasis on fun!

Extra activities for the non sailors and families will be available while extra informal sailing formats may also include team and relay racing along with speed trials, depending on the weather of course.
