Registration for RYA Sailability Multi Class Regatta now open © RYA

The ninth RYA Sailability Multi Class Regatta, the largest of its type in the UK, will be held at Rutland Sailing Club on 6-7 August 2016.

An optional training day on Friday 05 August will aim to give tips and pointers to regatta participants on how to get ahead in the fleet. With racing on offer for all abilities, the regatta is a fantastic opportunity to meet sailors from other classes.

This year's event will incorporate the Hansa Grand Prix Series 2016 and Hansa (European) Nord Cup Series 2016, whilst an informal Hansa 'Blue Fleet' short course racing series will also be held for Hansa competitors who do not wish to compete in the main event.

The classes involved in the Multi Class Regatta include the 2.4mR, Challenger, Hansa, Kinsman, Laser Stratos, SKUD, Sonar and Squib.

Debbie Blachford, RYA Sailability Manager, said: "We are really looking forward to the return of the Multi Class Regatta this year, as it is an amazing opportunity for sailors across the country to get out on the water regardless of experience level.

"There will be something for everyone across the weekend, whether you want some top racing tips or just to socialise with other sailors. We look forward to seeing everyone there."
