Membership data

Historical archive

As the National 12 class is a historic dinghy association where each boat is unique, we try to keep track of the fate of boats. We will keep a permanent record of boat owners (name, boat and geographic location) for archive and historical purposes unless you tell us otherwise. We also keep a permanent record of important events like Burton Week and the Burton Cup race. This information will be limited to names, race results and boats.
