Welcome to Welsh Sailing Events
The WYA runs a full programme of events across Wales, and also support a number of other events that are run by clubs. Below is a quick guide to the events that happen each year in Wales.
The Club Youth Race Circuit (or better known as the CYRC series)
Each of the 3 regions (North, South & West) run a CYRC series. These are great first time events for aspiring racers which are coached. There are usually 5 or 6 CYRC’s in each region, and if you sail in more than 3 you are eligible for the overall series prize!
