Nation Schools Sailing Association

NSSA Regatta

Milton Keynes & Bucks Youth Sailing Association sailing team is entered each year for the NSSA (National Schools Sailing Association) Regatta.

This is where 20+ sailing clubs from all over England, come together and compete against each other during a series of races held each day throughout the week (Monday through Friday – Wednesday is traditionally a rest day for helms not competing in the Mount Haes Trophy).

There are usually 3 races held each day, with various classes racing together. There are races for the “slow handicap” fleet, “Medium Handicap” fleet, and “Mixed Handicap” fleet. There are races also for the absolute beginners in the “Rookie” fleet.

Each team camps under canvas, with showers and meals provided indoors at the Sports Centre/School where the camping is taking place.

The event is held each year, alternating between inland waters and coastal waters.

The 2025 event will be held at Rutland Water SC (Sunday 20 – Saturday 26 July 2025).
