We are pleased to be headline sponsor of the NSSA National Schools Regatta 2026, hosted by Downs Sailing Club in association with KSSA.

The regatta runs from 20th to 24th July and will welcome youth teams from across the UK, with fleets for Toppers, ILCA, Handicap and a dedicated Regatta fleet. Four courses, experienced race management and a full shore-side programme will make this a proper national championship experience.

Our Managing Director, Rhys Rollitt, said:

"Youth regattas are where a sailor's lifelong passion for the sport is cemented. We've always believed in supporting sailors at every stage - from their first event to world championships.

We look forward to seeing the next generation on the start line. Read the full report here: https://www.sail-world.com/news/294091/Downs-SC-to-host-PandB-NSSA-National-Schools-Regatta
