Multiple Skippers Option: This year we are encouraging the Hansa 303 Doubles with the new option of having a different support crew for the main skipper!

Indication of Numbers:  We would like a good turnout, so an indication of numbers from each Sailability Region would help the organisers. Please spread the word, download the flier above and get a local team together for The 2026 Hansa National Championships. Come join the fun both on and off the water.
