Four days is a short time to get back into the swing of solo sailing, and yet it feels incredibly long when you only sleep in rare 20-minute stretches.

Stokes Bay delivered the goods: two days, six races, wall-to-wall sunshine and a solid 10-17 knots. Proper RS800 conditions with plenty of hooning downwind, and just enough breeze to keep things interesting.

Layering your kit properly is the easiest way to stay warm, dry, and comfortable in changing conditions.

The International Switch Class is pleased to announce that the 2026 Global Championship will take place at Waterfront Sailing Club, Genoa, Italy, from 27 October to 1 November 2026, with racing scheduled from 29 October to 1 November.

The second event of the 2026 Sailing Chandlery sponsored RS200 Northern Tour was held as part of the Daffodil Regatta hosted by Ullswater YC over the weekend of 25th / 26th April.
