Day 1 of the Comet Trio National Championships held in the spectacular Torbay area sponsored by Noble Marine, was never going to be easy for the race team led by Peter Lytton.

Having caught up the race schedule on Thursday, we are looking forward to hopefully three races from the end of this regatta. Two races scheduled on Friday and a final race on Saturday.

The boats are in, the wetsuits are hanging up and the bar is open – that’s a wrap on the Noble Marine RS200 Nationals at SCYC. Congratulations to Tommy and Charlie Darling – 2025 RS200 National Champions!

Irish offshore sailor Tom Dolan has taken second place in the Fig’Armor, his final warm-up race before defending his historic title in the 2025 Solitaire du Figaro, which begins on September 7.

The impasse over the Protocol for the 38th America’s Cup is expected to be resolved, one way or the other, next week, with a meeting of the parties in Auckland.

With the spectacle of many of the fleets finishing in the sunshine, downwind under spinnaker, this year’s Cowes Week concluded in style.
