This weekend, hardy winter WASZP sailors travelled from across the country to gather at Rutland Sailing Club for the End of Season Christmas GP. While much of the UK was battered by wind and rain, Rutland delivered an excellent weekend of racing.

Day Three of the 2025 Australian Maxi Championship delivered another high-energy test, with two passage races held offshore in a steadily building nor’easter that peaked at 23 knots.

Close racing in all events at the World Sailing Inclusion Championships 2025, hosted by the Sultanate of Oman and organised by Oman Sail, ensured the fleets will head to the final day with everything to play for.

A very nice turnout for the fifth in this well supported series. The weatherman said rain would arrive around noon, but we were greeted with pretty good racing conditions.

The weather gods were again not very kind for this weekend’s Illusion racing which was for the annual Picnic Hamper. Last year, there were 26 boats enjoying the relatively benign conditions.

“There’s one thing I’ll say about the boat, to anybody who is looking to buy a previously owned boat – this Pyewacket 70 in perfect condition. You wouldn’t know it wasn’t a brand-new boat.” Offshore veteran looks back at the Volvo 70’s successes.

A moderate Sou’easter and a very lumpy sea offshore made for a challenging passage race on Day 2 of the Australian Maxi Championships in Sydney on Sunday.

So, to the very final major Solo event of 2025, a regatta that had been postponed twice, the allure of a trip to Llandudno on a May bank holiday not tickling the fancy of enough pre-entries to proceed.

Mathis Ghio and Maddalena Spanu have been crowned 2025 World Cup champions. It’s the fourth successive title for the Frenchman who has been the fleet’s dominant figure since the competition’s inception.

At the annual CRAB Holiday & Volunteer Appreciation Party on December 4th, the Lance Hinrichs Memorial Award for Skipper of the Year was presented to Steve Palmer and the Crew Member of the Year was awarded to Mitch Buchman.
