With just under two weeks to go, the 2024 Marblehead Nationals are almost upon us!

Preparations at Datchet are going well. (The Drone flying permit has been received!). If you are an entrant and would like to join us as a guest for practice at normal Marblehead Club Racing this Sunday  May 26th, please let us know.

Just 3 Weeks to the Marblehead Nationals at Datchet !!

With just 3 weeks to go the excitement is building ahead of the 50th anniversary of the first Radio Marblehead National Championships held in 1974.  With 6 former holders of the trophy ,4 world champions including the current holder, Patrice Montero, and an entry of 32 skippers to date, plus counting towards next year’s world championship, this is shaping up to be the Marblehead event of 2024.  

There is still time to enter via the MYA website, but if you would prefer to come along and watch the action you will be made very welcome by the hosts Datchet Radio Sailing.

The Datchet race team are in training and water levels are currently at their maximum so fingers crossed for favourable weather. 

The dedicated catering team are fine tuning the menu for the event dinner on the Saturday evening (included in the entry) and the usual club catering will be available during both days.

Come along on the 1st & 2nd June and be a part of this exciting event.
