The 2026 NSSA National Youth Sailing Championships continued to gather momentum at Downs Sailing Club as two contrasting days of racing tested competitors with everything from tactical fleet racing to fast-paced team competition.

El Jaleo, representing the Real Club Marítimo del Abra-Real Sporting Club and skippered by Gonzalo Chávarri, has claimed overall victory in the 7th edition of the Armada Cup – Plymouth – Donostia / San Sebastián – Memorial Vicente Munilla.

One of the world’s most iconic annual regattas is set to celebrate its 200th edition in style, and North Sails is proud to be the title partner, with a shared commitment to help deliver an unforgettable week.

The two-day event on Stewartby Lake tested the single-handed fleet with highly tactical inland conditions. The wind was notionally from the NNE but appeared to swing around from a number of other directions.

Tuesday’s (21st July) race, the second of the five race series, was very much like Monday’s race for most with the same gentle benign northerly wind with a south going tide, and the same winners in each class.

Race crews, family and friends are welcome at the RORC Cowes Clubhouse on Friday 24 July with the RORC Channel Race pre-race supper forming part of the Club’s Cowes Offshore Series social programme. Booking is strongly recommended.

For a third day, racing at British Classic Week was wisely delayed by the Royal Yacht Squadron race committee led by Peter Saxton in order for the southwesterly sea breeze to establish.

As part of the Khanh Hoa Sea Festival 2026, the VPS Cup Fareast 19R Open and International Sailing Regatta, hosted for the first time in Nha Trang Bay, has drawn attention from both local residents and international tourists.

SailGP CEO Russell Coutts has just announced that all racing in the Qualifying Rounds will be conducted on a “Group Racing” basis for the rest of Season 6.

After storms and heavy winds kept the fleet ashore for Tuesday’s scheduled opening races, the 2026 J/80 World Championship got under way Wednesday on the waters of Lake Ontario, where 34 teams were greeted by gusty conditions averaging about 20 knots.
