About WĒTĀ CLASS UK
Vision
The UK Weta Class Association hopes grow participation in Weta sailing in the UK through taking part in social sailing and racing around the country.
We aim to be inclusive of all Weta owners from all sailing backgrounds.
The Weta has shown itself to be user friendly and we want to share our love for the class with anyone interested in joining with us for a sail.
So who is the Weta Class UK Association for?
We welcome individual sailors, couples, families or shared ownership sailors who want to share smiles, good times and good stories of Weta sailing wherever you are a based.
Membership is open to anyone who owns, sails or is interested in the Weta one design dinghy in the United Kingdom.
If you currently sail another class but want something easier on the body, more stable than many other classes and able to cater for solo sailing, double handed sailing, or simply taking out friends and family we may be the class you've been looking for.
Aren't Class Associations only for serious racers?
Not necessarily.
While there is a focus on racing, class association membership has other benefits too.
It enables those who are passionate about their boat to have a central point of focus and in the future we hope to arrange not just the annual 'Swarm' race event but also meet ups for social sailing at venues around the country (or maybe travel to meet and sail with Weta owners in Europe, America or downunder).
It's worth noting though that even if you are not a competitive sailor, joining with other Weta sailors at a race event or social wekend is one of the best ways to hone your own sailing skills, and most Weta racers are actually quite friendly and will happily share sailing hints and a host of other tips and tweaks that will help you personalise your boat to suit the sailing you do.
What benefits would I get as a member?
We are currently in a phase of renewal and it is hoped to be able to offer similar benefits to that of other class associations. As the Weta membership grows we will endeavour to offer something for everyone, not just the racers.
To kick things off not only is AdrenawindSports hosting our association pages they will offer all current members 5% off all website prices, along with special pop up deals throughout the season.
