The World Match Racing Tour makes its Saudi Arabian debut this November, with AMAALA Yacht Club set to host the 2026 World Match Racing Tour Finals and Women’s World Match Racing Tour Final.

With its biggest fleet in 30 years, the 2026 Edinburgh Cup and UK Dragon Grand Prix got under way off Cowes with the first two of eight windward-leeward races completed in the central Solent.

Day three of Hamilton Island Race Week presented by American Express delivered the full Whitsundays racing experience, with more big breeze, passing rain squalls and plenty of ups and downs as the fleet charged into the Nautilus Marine Classic races.

Very inconsistent and shifty winds made for a difficult day on Aarhus Bay, with only one race completed in the men’s gold fleet as the 2026 ILCA 6 Youth World Championships entered its final stages.

The fleet arrived down on the quay with ‘all’ sailors feeling fresh and well rested after the deadly combo of a big day of racing coupled with karaoke night. The wind looked promising and the sound of fluttering jibs on the shore got the excitement going.

Rooster Sailing is proud to support the world’s leading ILCA sailors as Official Clothing Sponsor of the 2026 ILCA World Championships in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland.

Ripon Sailing Club’s Family Weekend ran from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th August. The weekend started with some casual sailing on the Friday afternoon/evening.

The Committee Boat proudly took its position at 9am, ready for an 11am start — a model of punctuality, professionalism, and optimism. The windward mark was plonked down in a neat little 8-knot westerly, and everything looked set for racing.

Ten Wanderers contested the class nationals at Whitstable YC over the weekend of 15th and 16th August. Competitors arrived from as far apart as Grafham Water, Littlehampton and Langstone Harbour.

Congratulations to Paul Croote and Andy Whapshott (Marmite) on winning the 2026 Cherub Nationals, sailed alongside the International Canoes at Castle Cove Sailing Club, Weymouth, from 6th–9th August.
