P&B Solo Western Series at Teign Corinthian Yacht Club (TCYC)
By: John Ewbank 20th September 2026 3 visitors and 10 local sailors came together for the annual TCYC Solo P&B Western Series Open Meeting at Coombe Cellars on the Teign estuary. Although sunny and warm the wind forecast for Sunday 20th September was not encouraging ranging from 5 to 6 knots throughout the morning and into early afternoon dropping off thereafter. As things turned out we actually had around 8 knots pretty consistently with the occasional gust thrown in for go

OPEN NEDERLANDS KAMPIOENSCHAP SOLO Dutch Solo Nationals 2026 IJsselmeer, Medemblik · 18–20 September 2026 Organised by KZ&RV Hollandia · Watersportverbond The podium: bronze, gold and silver on the harbour wall at Medemblik, with the historic Solo championship trophy and the Watersportverbond championship banner. The weekend Saturday was simply too windy to race. The IJsselmeer can turn ugly quickly, and the race committee made the right call. Instead the class sat down t

CB Dinghy Chandlery Solo Inland Championship 2026
September 5-6th Grafham Water is the venue for this very special 70th Anniversary edition of the Inland Championship and with just under two weeks to go, we have 50 pre entries. A healthy number but the Solo fleet are well known for deciding at the very last minute whether to go or not, I would assume that like three planets orbiting the Earth, favourable weather forecasts, a clean bill of health and a surplus of brownie points will align on the 4th of September and we will h

Class Magazines
The archived class magazines have had a bit of a makeover. The original SoloInteractive magazines were created on ISSUU. The class stopped using this software so the magazines were converted to PDFs and uploaded to an external server for members to view via our website. This worked, but due to their size, they were slow to download and view. They have now been compressed and moved to our own website, where they can be viewed via new pages on the site. The old SoloInteractive

After a long break, Oxford Sailing Club are pleased to be able to invite Solo sailors to an Open Meeting once again.

Solo National Championship Day 4
P+B Solo National Championship Day 4 The final day of this magnificent Solo Championship dawned hot and sunny, just a thin line of cirrus nimbus spoiling an otherwise deep blue stratosphere. Torbados had already delivered some fabulous weather and the forecast was for 10-14 knots from due south, though there was a short delay with the competitors held ashore until the RO was happy. The points were tight between the top three challengers, Davenport having a four point advantag

P+B Solo National Championship Day 3
P+B Solo National Championship Day 3 After an early start of editing, processing, charging and publishing it was a body blow to receive a competitor WhatsApp from the RO, the brief message suggesting that we would be launching at the prescribed time, I had just ordered my breakfast, the bay looking ideal for fly fishing, not dinghy racing. The Lymington Seagulls were soon circling my table but a few strong words and threats of harm soon dispersed the insatiable pests though H

P+B Solo National Championship Day 2
P+B Solo National Championship Day 2 The day dawned like any other 2026 Torbados Summer day, buckets of sunshine and a gentle breeze though its northerly direction hinted that this heatwave might soon be over, until the next one. Competitors meandered to the vicinity of the boat park from all quadrants of the town though I would be surprised if any made it out of Hele though I am sure the accommodation fees would have been minimal.

P+B Solo National Championship Day 1
P+B Solo National Championship Day 1 The Solo fleet have returned to Torbay, the last time we visited was 2017 and before that 2008 so it’s not hard to work out, one the NSCA event algorithm is in working order and two, we will not be back until 2035. Royal Torbay Yacht Club stands proudly amongst some very typically victorian architecture and the vista from its beer garden is something to behold, especially when drenched in sunshine and that is the forecast for the week, alb
