Lake Como | K 1 Association

Lake Como
Monday 22nd June to Friday 26th June 2026

We have been invited by the K6's to join them in a regatta on Lake Como. This will be our first European Open meeting.

We are keen to know quickly how many K1 sailors are interested. If you can please give us an early indication within the next 7 days.

When we are able to confirm the event will take place then we shall ask you for a deposit. A final commitment will be required later in the year.

Two races per day

A warm welcome from the club, food and drink available.

Gala Dinner

Lovely town with plenty of accommodation and places to eat.

Motorhome site just out of town.

Full email from Mike about the event below for information.

Please let us know on the form .

Hi Ian,

The K6 folks are trying to finalise arrangements with Gravadona yacht club….

The K6 community would welcome K1s, but will need a good number of entrants for it to be worth while in terms of extra organisation on behalf of the K6 association, and the host club.

Cost per K6 for entry in 2024 was 300 euros, so we should expect a similar entry fee next year, a bit less for single hander, add a bit for inflation.

Como is a two day drive from the south coast for most people….

Obviously fuel, ferries, tolls and accommodation will significantly add to this cost.

Expect there to be 5 days racing, weekdays, the end of June 2026.

Can you poll the K1 members and ask for expressions of interest! We need to get around a dozen boats to make this happen. At the moment it’s kind of “yes very interested would like to come when dates and costs are settled” rather than absolute commitment to come.

Then once we get costs and dates we will need commitment by December. Once enough have committed we can add others later, but without enough early commitments, it won’t happen…..

Mike
