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!

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.

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

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!)

Few dinghy classes can boast such a long and fascinating history as the Sharpie. Designed in 1931 by the German Kruger brothers, they won a design competition for a fast sailing dinghy under 6M, capable of being used for camping.

As always, we can rely on Ingrid Abery to capture fantastic images on the water, and this time it’s Ladies Day at Cowes Week.

Local crews took on the world’s best for sailing supremacy at the 34th edition of the Channel Islands Hobie Cat Championships. The event was sponsored by Savills Jersey for a seventh year running and hosted by the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club.

Thanks to Vanessa Devereaux for planning and organising the 2025 GP14 National Championships as it kicked of in style at beautiful Tenby. The welcome from the Sailing Club volunteers was amazing as they guided the fleet through the narrow streets.

With racing already cancelled for the day, hulls tied down with masts removed, the sailors eased themselves into day 2 with the breeze building to boat-breaking proportions by the prescribed 1pm start time.

Mark Jardine sat down with ambassador Sam Goodchild to reflect on a life shaped by the ocean – from growing up on a boat to competing in the world’s toughest offshore races. Sam shares what drives him, how he handles fear and chasing a Vendée Globe dream.
