2026 EHD APPLICATION FORM

Sailors must also be under 22 on 31 Dec 2026, or still in full time education.

The cost of the week is £500. This cost principally covers your food and accommodation for the week, as the coaching is heavily subsidised by the E Howard-Davies Memorial Fund.    We can take a maximum of ten boats, so have twenty places available and it works best if you come in pairs.   We need a minimum of twelve sailors for the week to be viable.

The following guidelines will be used to select participants from the applications received:

  1. Participation in recent GP14 events – as helm or crew – particularly championships and major events such as National or World Championships.
  2. Participation in GP14 or club training events.
  3. Ability to:
    1. sail at a good club racing standard in a range of wind conditions, including planing conditions.
    2. to right a capsized boat
    3. to handle a GP14 ashore
  4. A letter of support from your club Commodore, Training Principal or other recognised person who can confirm your ability and commitment to the GP14.
  5. Access to a GP14 in good racing order.

Please use the form overleaf to apply for a place and send it to Sam; streetsam26@gmail.com Applications should be received by Monday 29th December 2025 to be sure of consideration in the initial selection process.  Please note both helm and crew need to fill in separate application forms. The final decision on who is invited to participate is at the absolute discretion of the Association and you will be informed by February 2nd 2026.

Upon acceptance you will be required pay a deposit of £100.00. The balance of £400 and medical/consent forms will need to be received by Friday 1st March.  Sailors are required to be Youth members of the Association.
