Poole Yacht Racing Association (PYRA) has organised a series of bay races from May to September, on one Sunday a month They’re free to enter and open to any boat with a VPRS rating.

The 16th/17th May saw Llangorse SC stage the Comet Trio Inland Championships as part of a combined event with a Kestrel open meeting. 5 visiting Trios joined 3 club Trios to provide a competitive fleet for both days.

With ever growing numbers of Streakers in the South East corner, Margate Yacht Club, located on the North Kent Coast (Thames Estuary) was invited to host their first ever Streaker open meeting.

Musto recently launched their new LPX collection, powered by GORE-TEX® ePE technology, representing the pinnacle of inshore racing apparel – ultra-lightweight, supremely breathable, and 100% waterproof.

On top of another day of competitive racing, the club had chosen this day to formally open its new fully accessible disabled clubhouse facility.

Sunday 12 April 2026 saw the traditional season opener at Maidenhead Sailing Club. Albacore sailors from eight visiting clubs joined nine local boats for a demanding and competitive day’s racing, with a good dose of spring sunshine and breeze.

Spring sunshine and a pleasant 8 to 12 kts from the South-West greeted the Scorpion fleet for a weekend of sprint racing at Staunton Harold S.C. The breeze was perfect for windward leeward courses with plenty of shifts.

On Saturday 16th May over 50 participants new to sailing enjoyed a 30 minute sail on the stunning beauty spot Dovestone Reservoir. This was part of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Discover Sailing initiative and is an annual event.

Somewhat down on the usual numbers owing to many helms either competing or helping at the IOM Worlds; ten hardy souls still turned out on what was a cold and grey Sunday.

Like, did we ever leave? Not really… Ever since Sir Frank Packer KBE kicked it off, we’ve been there, or thereabouts. For instance, Grant Simmer OAM has been involved with every one of them since winning it in 1983.
