So having had a brief break after the DF95 Nationals we find ourselves on a collision course with the DF65 Nationals which happen this coming weekend 1st & 2nd June at Two Islands RYC in Milton Keynes. We have a great entry of 52 skippers and currently the forecast looks like we might need more than an A plus rig for the weekend with Sunday looking particularly breezy at the minute with a mix of weather too.

Social, as usual, will take place Friday and Saturday evenings at the on site pub situated conveniently next door to the lakeside Premier Inn where most of us are staying.

We have an up to date entry list available for viewing here – DF65 Nats 19 where you’ll be able to see all the runners and riders for the weekend. There is a big contingent of Swedish skippers, some of who fared well at the DF95 European Regatta in mid April, we’ll be expecting to do well here too.

Defending Champion Alex Cory has entered, but will he appear and which boat will he be sailing? Tushy is fresh from his recent triumph at Eastbourne and he’ll be one to watch as will be the usual suspects from the UK TT Circuit.

Practice kicks off Friday afternoon with the first race going off around 10am on Saturday morning.

Good luck to all those skippers taking part.
