Host University: Strathclyde Venue: Strathclyde Loch Per event info Notice of Race NOR Notice 3 - Finals FINALS Entries 20-04-14 Are you interested in hosting the 2015 Finals? If so, please take a close look at the Bidding Information, which covers all the information you will need. The closing date for bids is TBC. The Championship Finals is one of the premier team racing events in the UK and is the culmination of the university team racing season. The competition can be fierce and the difference between the top teams very slight, making for excellent racing and good spectating. Aside from the prestige of hosting the event, most host clubs have benefited in financial terms from being host. See Notice of Race Amendment Notice 5 (which deals with the situation arising from the cancellation of the reserve day for the Northerns Qualifiers (dated 14 February, 2014).

Warwick Turtle

The Warwick Turtle, hosted by UWSC at Draycote Water SC, will deliver great team racing and great socials. This is a popular event, and we have 21 spots to fill, so please return entry form by 1st December, and we will allocate places. Stonking great socials will be held on both the Friday and Saturday nights in Royal Leamington Spa. Sere us on Twitter and Facebook. See: Notice of Race and Entry Form. "Please return the form by 1st December to apply for entries, and we will get in contact to notify the universities about how many entries they have and ask for their cheques."

Southampton takes it from Oxford 1 in closely fought final: The Warwick Turtle, a long-standing favourite in the British student team racing calendar, missed a year last year. It is back with a flourish. They claim to have “Excellent Sailing, Excellent Organising and Excellent Socials”, and, with very challenging weather, they seem to have got a great result. Commodore, Millie Craker-Horton and her team (rumour has it that they have thawed out since), working with Draycote Water SC and the restaurateurs and clubs of Leamington Spa, evidently pulled off a great weekend.

A hard fought final resulted in Southampton riding off on the Turtle, but, ever swift on the social media and impeccably polite, Oxford UYC responded: “Thanks @WarwickSailing for a great weekend!” See Full Report by Becca Davidson, PR Sec, Warwick USC, together with photos from Tom Needham, Social Sec.
