TOTAL events : 6 (17 days)

Note Easter is the 08/04 and per each year the Munsters are likely going to be held in Baltimore over Easter weekend which falls right in the middle of the spring program. This should not have an impact on futur selections for various big regattas although it will be monitored.
It is hoped the ISAF YW selection will happen over the May bank holiday weekend as per last year and that will not impact the program. If it transpires this assumption is wrong the program may be re-assessed to allow YW hopefuls to join the selection process.

For information, the program 2011 included 33 days away, 4 events, the skiing day. The total cost per sailor was 2847EUR and included every necessery expenses (Travel, coaching/support, entry fees, accomodation, food, skiing day). Pocket money may have been used by sailors but it was a choice.
Every efforts are made to keep the program as cheap as possible to look like a very effective way of progressing in sailing whilst proposing a unique cutural and life skills development experience.
