Sessan Cup 2022


     The Association is very excited that NFIA have given their support for the 2022 Sessan
     Cup to be held in the UK. This is the first time that the event has been held here.
     The Royal Lymington Yacht Club, who have their Centenary in 2022, are hosting the
                                event and running the racing which is to be in
                                                                    nd
                                                          th
                                Christchurch Bay from the 19  to the 22 of
                                September 2022.

                                The Sessan Cup is an International Regatta for the
                                Nordic Folkboat. With two boat teams from countries
                                or organisations The Cup is awarded to the top two-
                                boat team. However, the racing is fleet racing, not
                                team racing and the rules around teamimg up appear
                                to be very flexible. We are hoping to see teams from
                                the European fleets and other parts of the UK.

                                Preparations are well on the way and the Sessan Cup
                                web site is updated regularly.
