The Naval Base and Babcock Sailing Challenge on the afternoon of Wednesday 11 Jun 14 involves Service and private yachts with mixed Babcock and MoD/RN crew. The aim is to sail with your colleagues rather than win at all cost! It involves a race around the cans and a river passage race. This year it is being organised by RNSA who invite applications from local RNSA members, particularly those willing to bring a yacht to offer more opportunities for youngsters to experience the sport.
