Festive Cheer to you all   

Tis the season of goodwill with wishes of looking forward to a new year of promise and plans.


2021 is a special year for the class as it celebrates its ‘Golden Anniversary’, 50 years since its formation back in 1971 and we are determined for our class to celebrate it in style.

We are delighted to be commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Phantom Sailing and our plans are well underway to make 2021 a special year. I am pleased to announce the class has recently secured the venue to host our National Championships with lots more planned through the year”

In 2021 the Championship hosts will be Stone Sailing Club between the 17th-19th September, a firm favorite with Phantom sailors and going back to its roots in the south east of England.  It is also fantastic news that Allen Bros will be the headline sponsors for the event, who continue to strengthen their relationship and support of the class.
It’s even rumored that Ben Harden – Head of Marketing at Allen Sailing will be competeing !!


The class will also be supporting the Ovington Winter Championships on the 27/28th March 2021 at Grafham Sailing Club and looking forward to a big turnout of Phantoms. Our Inland Championships are being hosted by Northampton Sailing Club over the weekend of the 5/6th June 2021 .

Looking further forward, the class is thrilled to have also secured it’s National Championships venue for 2022. Famous for it’s perfect sailing conditions, rolling swell and huge waves, the premier sailing location of Lyme Regis Sailing Club (provisional dates of 2nd -4th September).


There’s much to look forward to, when we emerge from the winter months with spring in the air and we can again feel the warmth of the sun on our faces.
Here’s hoping …………

May I wish you a safe Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

I look forward to seeing you all on the water in the in 2021.
