There are just 6 weeks until the National Championship begins in Torbay and with 57 pre-entries already, it looks like we willl have a busy start line in the bay. Among the hotshots, Charlie Cumbley, Oliver Davenport and Tim Law so if you are hard enough come and take a shot of wrestling the title away from any one of these sailors. Alternatively, if you just want to enjoy the feel of racing with a big fleet of mixed ability then this is a great venue and the fleet is friendl

Noble Marine Nation’s Cup Day 4 Day 4 dawned overcast, the strong winds finally abating but the region still refusing to default to the blistering heat we had read about in the brochure. The competitors had an early start but that had not put some off a very late night of food, wine and entertainment though Vincent Horey’s rendition of “We are Spurs” on his base guitar soon had the audience running for the exit. Earlier that evening the fleet had enjoyed a soiree at the saili

This year’s Solo Open Meeting, the tenth which the LSC have run, followed on from the previous day’s Vintage Championships saw a small but relative competitive fleet of much newer boats combined with the remnants of yesterday’s older boats. Slightly down on numbers from previous years due imminent clashes with the Nation’s Cup in France and other factors. Seven visiting solos made up of the eleven entries were welcomed by the club in its usual way. An earlier start time than

8 visitors and 9 club members entered for this the eighth Solo Vintage Championship at this club, again well supported by Rooster Sailing. All the boats are required to be registered over 20 years old but now exclude FRP constructed boats. The solos sailed are all fine examples of the class of yesteryear and are mainly built of wood by craftsmen! They were greeted with fabulous warm and sunny sailing conditions with a light to moderate easterly breeze, for the three-race seri

Noble Marine Nation’s Cup Day 2 The day had opened as Windguru had predicted, the winds that had battered this part of France abating, leaving a light breeze in its wake. The sky was more befitting any one of a dozen industrialised cities in the UK in the height of summer, overcast with just a sprinkle of sunbeams to keep the hope in the hearts of those who are blessed with skin that will not burn easily. I applied two layers of the finest olive oil to my blotted torso and sl

Noble Marine Nation’s Cup Day 1 Thirty-nine UK Solos and their helms and nine elite Dutch sailors have assembled on the small picturesque town of Quiberon to contest the 26th running of the Green and Gates Nation’s Cup. ENVSN are hosting the event and look a pretty slick operation having recently held regattas for the 49ers, 49erFX and Nacra with some spectacular racing footage really showcasing the venue and its varied conditions.

You could be forgiven for thinking you have walked through a worm hole back in time if you happen to pass by Leigh on Sea on Saturday May 30, narrow cobbled streets overflowing with pedestrians eager to sample the local ales and cockle bars, a train station, bereft of travellers awaiting departure and a beach full of cutting edge timber constructed Solos. Only when Technora sails are hoisted by sailors modelling the latest hikers are we transported back into the modern era. T

The event entry deadline has been extended, you can now enter on Saturday at registration between 09.00 and 11.00. The forecast looks great this weekend, Warm, sunny and a F3 on Saturday, with more of a blast on Sunday F4-5 and maybe a bit damp!

Como was superb, Quiberon will have more of the same sop don't miss out. There is just over one month to go until the 2026 Nations Cup begins at the National School Sailing And Water Sports Centre ENVSN, in Quiberon, France. This stunning venue provides superb facilities, a fabulous bay to race in and the beautiful town of Quiberon as a backdrop. The weather, well it is the south of France so gloriously warm with a waft of garlic and fine coffee in the air and the chime of w

Day 1 Hayling Island are hosting a combined regatta for the very best of single handers and a bit like the porridge my mum used to tell me about, there are dinghies built just right for big bears, little bears and in the Solos case, mostly old bears. The Finns are here in some force, 34 entries including the esteemed World President of the class Rob McMillan, a man who wields much power these days given the unquestionable strength of the Finn around the globe, despite the Oly
