Over the weekend of the 19th & 20th of September, Fairlie Yacht Club organised its annual Open Autumn Regatta, sponsored by Largs Yacht Haven. This end of season regatta was based on the sailing areas off Largs on the Clyde.

It is already the home stretch, and for the 118 skippers, the pressure is mounting. In just over a month, on Sunday, November 1st in Saint-Malo, they will set off on the most famous of solo ocean sprints, the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe.

The championship battle reaches its conclusion as the fleet welcomes new teams and prepares for the inaugural Cape 31 Gold Cup.

Horning Sailing Club enjoyed a breezy weekend’s racing with two events taking place over 19/20th September. The whole weekend saw the annual Yare & Bure Open take place on Hoveton Little Broad, attracting 10 participants.

Around 80 World Cruising Club members and guests came together at the Southampton International Boat Show on Saturday 19 September for a special event hosted by Advanced Rigging & Hydraulics, part of the Ancasta Group.

After a successful training camp, Tudor Team Alinghi has announced its crew for the second Preliminary Regatta in Naples. This morning, the four selected sailors arrived in style at their base in Nisida.

Across three very different days at Poole Yacht Club, the Zenith, Zen and Zenith II Nationals gave the fleet a proper championship test. Friday was all about nerve, judgement and seamanship in 30 knot gusts.

The Penultimate round of the TridentUK RS400 Northern Tour was held at the annual Great Northern Asymmetric Challenge (GNAC) at Bassenthwaite Sailing Club. The programme of eight races over two days was always going to be energy sapping.

After a rather windy start to the event (have a read of the earlier reports), we had a completely different tone on the final day with the conditions being light and shifty.

The Southampton International Boat Show is officially underway, and we’re excited to be there showcasing the latest Rooster kit alongside some unmissable deals. If you’re visiting SIBS, make sure to come and see us at stand no W038.
