Teams that competed in the last two Rolex Fastnet Races and are returning for this Saturday’s special centenary edition will be breathing a sigh of relief looking at the long term forecast.

Race Four of the Admiral’s Cup brought a tactical masterclass in light airs to the Central Solent. PRO Stuart Childerley set a windward leeward course for both classes, 1.6nm for AC1 and a shorter 1.4nm for AC2.

The final group of skippers to be announced for the 2026 New York Yacht Club International Women’s Championship radiates enthusiasm for this groundbreaking opportunity in one of the world’s most famous sailing cities.

Wednesday’s Admiral’s Cup inshore racing in the Solent didn’t quite have the wind of yesterday, but David Maynard was out on the water to catch the action in the morning before the wind switched off for a while.

Somehow the SailGP fleet at Portsmouth got the media attention on the weekend of 19th and 20th July but they missed the main event at Lee on Solent where the Solution, Phantom and Blaze classes came together for some proper close racing.

The weekend of the 5th-6th of July was set to be a busy one at Clyde Cruising Club Dinghy Section (CCCDS). In a surge of Sailability activity, three events were taking to the water at Bardowie Loch.

Fair winds, in the main, were the order of the day for the 28th edition of the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club’s Waller-Harris Two-handed Triangle Race held from Saturday 12th to Monday 14th July.

As one of Britain’s finest offshore racers, it is fitting that Sam Goodchild has chosen to become an ambassador for British sailing apparel brand, Henri-Lloyd.

This event is unique to Poole Yacht Club consisting of two races around the harbour islands on Saturday and a conventional open meeting on the Sunday with four races around the cans.

With one month to go to the start of Burnham Week 2025, preparations are well under way for this premier east coast regatta. The buzz around town and news of entries gives a good indication that this event is gearing up to be a classic edition.
