The 2000 2025 National Championships are being hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club. Hayling Island has an immense reputation for hosting major events with superb sailing area, first class race management, an astounding club house and total ease of launching. Racing will take place between August 17th and 22nd with a total of 10 races programmed, Wednesday August 20th is the planned lay day.
Special features will include
- New buddy system that will see those competing at their first 2000 Nationals buddied with experienced 2000 sailors.
- New special category prizes aimed at those who might not usually get into the top ten overall

The social programme is exciting and varied
- Buddy meal on the Sunday night, sit down with your Buddies and introduce them to all that is good in 2000 land. Meal included in entry fee.
- Tuesday the party like you are not sailing tomorrow night; meal in clubs fabulous restaurant incl in entry fee followed by band.
- The return of Pete and Sophie's cultural alternative quiz - ask anyone at Torquay how good this was and you won't want to miss it.
- Jay and Alice's very special beach games.
Oh and also the very special racing the class fosters. It will be fun and friendly but also competitive throughout the fleet. The front of our fleet is fabulous. Remember in the last 4 years our National Champions have won the Endeavour Trophy and Selden Sail Juice Series. But the front of the fleet will also be very free with advise and guidance for the less experienced.
There is a cheaper entry fee for the early bird entrants, £25 cheaper if you enter before March 31st. There is an even bigger incentive to enter early. Get your entry in before end of February 22nd and you will enter the draw for a brand new jib. The winner of which will be drawn on the 2000 Class Association stand at the RYA Dinghy Show on the afternoon of Feb 23rd.
