Yesterday was bittersweet. While we are definitely sad to see our 2026 racing season come to an end, we are looking back so thankful for everything we accomplished this year.

Last weekend Carrickfergus Sailing Club hosted the GBR IRC Northern Ireland Championship as part of their annual regatta. 18 boats entered with 12 in IRC/YTC 1 and 6 in IRC/YTC2.

Icom UK has recently released a video guide on its YouTube channel packed with top tips and practical advice on operating marine VHF radios safely and legally.

Pwllheli racers enjoyed a variety of races this weekend. The day started early with a feeder race from Pwllheli to Abersoch so that boats could join Abersoch regatta races and crews could enjoy activities in Abersoch town.

The weekend forecast was pretty much as expected for the South coast these days, very hot, light breezes and wall to wall sunshine. And that’s exactly what we got.

It was tight at the top… three sailors all in contention right up to the final race of the 2026 Streaker Southern Championships at Burghfield Sailing Club, an event in the Rooster Super Series and HD Sails Southern Paddle Series.

Big Bear Voyage 2026 returned safely and jubilantly to its home port Universal Marina, Hamble this weekend after an epic three-month, 2,250-mile sail around England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland with Pudsey Bear on board.

The second week of San Pedro OCR came to a close Sunday with 3 pairs of Olympic-class sailors crowned champions on the waters that will host sailing at L.A.’s 2028 Olympic Games.

After the rain, cold and dramatic wind shifts of opening day, Belfast Lough showed competitors a very different side on Monday as sunshine and a steady north-easterly breeze provided near-perfect conditions for Races Two and Three.

It’s said that a sailor’s reputation is built not on the races won, but on the rules respected. If this is the case, the reputation of the RS300 fleet took hell of a battering on Saturday along with some gelcoat!
