From Saturday August 6 the Colne Yacht Club will be hosting the Morgan Marine Sonata National Championships 2022.

Over 120 sailors from as far away as Scotland will be competing for the prestigious Pimms Trophy. Over 30 boats will be moored in Brightlingsea Harbour, all with the intention of becoming National Champions.

During the event we will be raising awareness for the charity Kids Inspire who offer specialist support for children, young people and their families. We have also teamed up with the Pioneer Sailing Trust who will be taking a group of these people on a sailing trip.
