To round off the 2024 Solent racing season, the Contessa 32 Class Association are pleased to announce the 2024 National Championships are being run by the Royal Thames YC. Tim Hancock, the PRO, who has run some very high profile regattas all over Europe, has agreed to run the racing, which is always of the highest standard and extremely competitive.

The event takes place over three days, starting midday Friday 27th with two races, followed by a famous Contessa 32 Pontoon Party kindly being hosted by Jemmana.

Away from the racing, this year will also feature a dinner dance, hosted by the RAFYC on the Saturday night, including an excellent live band.

Entries to both racing and/or the dinner are still welcomed from all Contessa 32's and their crews, further details can be found on the Class website, www.co32.org
