Llandegfedd International Canoe Premier Open took place on the 30th & 1st May 2011. Results
This was a pretty awesome event with winds guisting well over Force 6 at times. Here is an extract from the report, that can be seen in full on the "results" link above.
"Saturday morning and the early visitors were met with the forecast 20+knots. A number of new faces to the class were hesitant to rig their boats with the increasing challenging conditions. More experienced crews set their rigs, choices of asymmetric kite were the massive 24m2, the 17m2 or the conservative "no-kite" tactic.
The Cooke & Arkwright Asymmetric Open 2011 took place at Llandegfedd on the 4th & 5th June, results here.

Dates are;
- Top Gun Sunday number 1; April 10th
