This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the dads, grandads and father figures who got us out there in the first place. Give your Dad a Kaleo Kiwi Classic – designed in Aotearoa. Inspired by the places Dad loves.

Emirates GBR Driver Dylan Fletcher MBE said the team was “excited to get racing” as SailGP returns to the fastest racecourse in the championship this weekend.

GP Watercraft are delighted to announce the Melges 15 UK National Championship will now be held at Warsash Sailing Club between the 18th and 20th September.

USA 1, winner of the World Sailing Open Team Racing World Championship, held in Stockholm, Sweden, August 12 -16 included two Newport Harbor Yacht Club sailors who sailed for the same College nearly 3,000 miles away and eight years apart.

It’s an odd time for your humble turf accountant and sailing raconteur. Some say the country is going to the dogs and, sadly for me, Walthamstow lost the dogs some years ago.

Matt Wearn AUS arrives in Dun Laoghaire on a perfect season, Willem Wiersema NED arrives as the defending champion, and 141 sailors from 45 nations arrive ready to make sure neither of them has it easy.

The B14 Nationals is being hosted by the very hospitable Mumbles Yacht Club with a plentiful supply of bacon butties to prepare the fleet for the windiest day of the Champs.

14 races were sailed with 13 boats competing on a good course set by Dave Tomlinson. But unlucky for some the wind direction made top marks distant, proving tricky. All but one used A rigs under a blue, white and dark grey sky.

The public is invited to meet 16 skippers and view their classic yachts from 22 August, following Damien Guillou’s SITraN Challenge victory and the fleet’s first multi-boat GGR Live Window test.

25 boats came and joined us in the sun. Travellers from: Starcross SC, Datchet SC, Weston SC, Gurnard SC, Stone SC and Stokes Bay SC. Campers and tents parked and pitched, boats rigged and ready, beer flowing, we were off.
