Seavets events are held on inland waters
as well as coastal locations, starting in March and carrying
through the summer until October. The full programme is on
the Events 2008 page.
Racing: about a dozen events are
designated "Prime Events" counting towards trophies
awarded at the end of the season. The Raceboard fleet is divided
into classes by age - Seniors (under 50), Veterans (50 - 59),
Supervets (60 - 70) and Megavets (over 70). Maximum sail size
is 7.5m in the Raceboard classes. There is also an Open class
with no limitations on board or sail, and a One Lap fleet
who race on a shortened course - usually One Lap Less!
Social
Sailing: other events are purely recreational. The
aim is to provide enjoyable sailing for all levels of windsurfing
ability.
Many members also meet during the week
or at weekends to windsurf together. One group meets regularly
on Wednesdays during the summer at locations on the south
coast, and others at Datchet Reservoir, near Windsor in Berkshire,
and at Whitwell on Rutland Water.

Group holidays to Minorca and Brittany are organized each
year and other small groups take windsurfing holidays together
on an informal basis. (Dahab is becoming popular)
