Welcome to the web pages of the Southern Area. We hope to be able to support you and your sailor in enjoying your time with the Southern Area Topper community who are enthuiastic, friendly and thriving. Each year we organise a programme of training and racing at clubs across the South and newcomers are always very welcome.
If you have any questions please either email us or grab any parent of a Topper sailor, we are a friendly bunch, always happy to help.
Membership of ITCA is not essential and sailors are allowed entry to 1 Open or Training event before we ask that they join the class. After this time if sailors want to continue to enter events then membership is compulsory. Find out how to join ITCA here
The Southern Area is currently covered by 4 volunteers, with responsibilties divided as detailed below. Please feel free to email us if you need any help or information or if you just want to meet up at one of the events for a chat.
We are dependent on parent volunteers helping to run ITCA Southern events and we are absolutely delighted to welcome Claus Svendsen to the team as ITCA Southern Training rep. This is an exciting time for ITCA Topper training as changes are being developed for Winter 2025 training with the introduction of a new exciting format. The best way to keep in touch with updates is to join the Southern WhatsApp group. Send Sally or Dave a message with your Sailor Name and Champ Number and we'll add you.
