GBR192 Bluebottle has won the Dragon class at the 200th anniversary edition of North Sails Cowes Week, completing an impressive seven-race series that saw 25 Dragons compete on the Solent.

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.

Following Day 4’s lay day, competitors returned to the race track rested on Day 5 of Jeanneau Yachts presented by Mooloolaba Yacht Brokers and 74 Islands Airlie Beach Race Week (ABRW) 2026 and the gauntlets are down with some battle royales ensuing.

Emirates Team NZ declared a “new” wingfoil component ahead of a sailing session on Saturday. The “new” component declaration is the first by any team in this America’s Cup cycle.

Jeanneau Yachts presented by Mooloolaba Yacht Brokers and 74 Islands Airlie Beach Race Week (ABRW) 2026 is in full swing and already competitors have experienced three fabulous days of racing on the water and the social side ashore.

As is traditional the British Moth fleet gathered in August for their National Championships, once again Hollowell Sailing Club in Northamptonshire was hosting the event but as a change to the norm it was being run over a weekend.

Italian Challenger Luna Rossa enjoyed another great sailing day in Sardinia’s Maestrale, clocking up their longest foiling time yet on Sailing Day 15.

It was a stop-start day for the fleet in Tenby when the early breeze that the fleet launched in petered out and the fleet was sent back to shore for a couple of hours.

The final day of this magnificent Solo Championship dawned hot and sunny, just a thin line of cirrus nimbus spoiling an otherwise deep blue stratosphere. Torbados had already delivered some fabulous weather and the forecast was for 10-14 knots.

The Miracles have arrived in sunny Abersoch for the 2026 Miracle Nationals at South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club. Day One started with a 1200 briefing and a 1400 race start after some significant and troublesome travel with various road closures.
