The United Kingdom Firefighters Sailing Championship (UKFSC) is set to make its return in 2025, taking place from 12th to 15th May in The Solent. Since its inception in 2003, this highly anticipated event has raised over £135,000 for charitable causes, bringing together current and former firefighters, as well as members of other emergency services, including Police, Ambulance, and RNLI crews.

Registration for UKFSC 2025 is now open, with the deadline fast approaching. A total of 15 boats have been allocated for the championship, and spaces are filling up quickly—only 3 Spinnaker boats and 5 White Sails/Asymmetric boats remain available. Teams eager to compete are encouraged to register as soon as possible to secure their place.

Spanning four days, the event offers thrilling sailing action, with three days of competitive racing designed to foster teamwork, camaraderie, and well-being among participants.

UKFSC 2025 would not be possible without the support of its generous sponsors. This year, we extend special thanks to our long-standing Platinum sponsor, WH Bence, whose continued support helps make this event a reality.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for companies looking to gain visibility, support a great cause, and make tax-efficient charitable donations. For more details, please contact
