Expression of Interest - Draw Winners

13 November 2025

In total, 56 boats from 13 countries signed up for the draw: 25 from the UK and 31 from overseas. First non-UK boat to be drawn was Martin Veit from the Czech Republic who gets a free entry, and first UK boat was Scott from Chew Valley who gets the jib generously donated by P&B.

Vyv Townend of the organising committee said, "We really weren't expecting this level of response! Formal entries don't open until the Notice of Race is published which we are hoping will be in December but, based on the people who signed up for the Expression of Interest, we should easily surpass our initial estimates of 80 boats". The event incorporates the UK Nationals and runs from Monday 20th to Friday 31st July.
