The second day of the RS200 Noble Marine Nationals hosted by SCYC delivered classic “Cape Town” conditions, as one seasoned South African sailor observed “it is sunny and windy just like Cape Town”.

A windy day saw the fleet launch with varying degrees of trepidation. Racing was right on the edge, with Sandy & Ailsa (1632) deciding early on to retire when their jib halyard snapped, followed by Karin Grice with her last minute stand in crew.

Tuesday dawned with clear blue skies and a good breeze which was a welcome sight for the Scorpion sailors after a day ashore yesterday. An additional race was planned after losing two yesterday, so there was definitely a buzz in the dinghy park.

After a Monday that was called off early due to the Storm Floris, today’s racing in Tenby featured seriously breezy weather, with some lumpy gusts for good measure. Some folks decided (perhaps wisely) to stay ashore.

This year’s Yachting World Dayboat week was held from 26th to 31st July and was hosted by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club in Falmouth.

After a day of rest the X boaters were back at it again today for day 4 of Cowes Week. With the wind a tricky North Westerly with some punchy gusts at times, the heavily biased start line was awkward.

With three mini-series concluding today, lively winds and brilliant sunshine, there was plenty of action on the fourth day of Cowes Week 2025.

The final day of the 2025 ILCA 6 Youth World Championships delivered a full spectrum of sailing conditions — from nearly glassy waters to full hiking breeze — giving sailors one last challenge before the titles were claimed.

Hot on the heels of the biggest and most successful Cadet Nationals in over a decade — and with the World Team and promotional fleet heading off to Lipno for the World Championships — you’d be forgiven for thinking things might quieten down. Not a chance!

Port Dinorwic was a new venue for the Tuesday Club seeing 31 boats on the water with some of the sailors having not sailed in tidal waters it was looking like an interesting day with a steep learning curve (keep an eye on the locals!)
