Growth of WASZP class in the UK

The WASZP was launched in July 2016 and has continued to grow dramatically ever since. At the RYA Dinghy Show in March 2019 the UK WASZP Class will be exhibiting boat number 700. With over 10% of the global fleet (75 boats) based in the UK the 2019 season will see big numbers attending the UK circuit.

“I am thrilled to be working with two of the World’s most dynamic marine brands. At Sailingfast we are passionate about supplying the very best products to keep our customers happy on the water.”
