The UK Europe fleet often targets several major handicap events in between official class events. Many of the below events are held at venues with strong local Europe fleets, and we encourage strong annual Europe turnouts to each. Europe sailors can not only enjoy great one-design class events, but a boat which performs brilliantly on handicap too!
Part of the SailJuice Winter Series, the Bloody Mary kicks off the year with a 150 minute pursuit race. With entries frequently in excess of 200 boats, this one day event is a great way to test yourself against the best sailors in the country!
Tiger Trophy - Rutland SC
The Tiger Trophy is one of the most popular handicap events of the winter, taking place on Rutland Water with a day of handicap racing on Saturday followed by Sunday's pursuit race for the Tiger Trophy!
Paignton Open for Single Handers (POSH) - Paignton SC
This unique event format offers handicap racing specifically for single-handed dinghies, launching from Paignton Beach and racing inTorbay.
Camel Week - Rock Sailing & Waterski Club
Held annually in August, Camel Week provides handicap racing for both dinghy and multihull classes. Combining handicap and pursuit racing, with one trophy race each day, the event is an excellent opportunity to combine a competitive regatta week with a family holiday, with plenty of time to enjoy the club's hospitality and everything North Cornwall has to offer!

Drawing entries from clubs around Chichester Harbour, as well as from further afield, the event offers numerous fleet starts across multiple course areas in Chichester Harbour and Hayling Bay, with opportunities for junior competition for younger family members alongside one-design racing alongside the club's strong local Europe fleet.
