The British National Championships is immediately followed by the World Championships at the same venue to give Topper sailors two back-to-back weeks of racing.
The World Championships will consist of two ISAF-recognised World Championship Series – in the main 5.3 fleet and the smaller 4.2 fleet. Running concurrently with the ISAF World Championships will be the Intercontinental Cup for lady sailors. More here
