Festive Junior & Youth Race at Warsash Sailing Club

by Roger Cerrato 28 Dec 2025 14:59 UTC 27 December 2025

It was wall to wall sunshine for our 'Festive Junior & Youth Race' on Saturday as 17 boats from Optimist to 29er battled it out up and down the River Hamble in a gusty North-Easterly breeze.

It was 6 knots one minute, 20 knots the next, keeping the sailors on their toes! Despite a few capsizes everyone returned to shore smiling!

After warming up, the sailors joined club member Jacqui who hosted a Q&A session with Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team driver Dylan Fletcher.

Dylan then kindly gave out the prizes to our winners.

1st Overall - Jake D - ILCA 6
2nd Overall - Thomas M - Topper 5.3
3rd Overall - Aedan H - ILCA 4

1st Double Hander - Sam W & Max EA - Feva

Commodore Roger was pleased to present Dylan with a WSC burgee as a token of our thanks for his visit.

A distinct injustice?
When is a RIB not RIB, nor dayboat, nor adventure craft? When it is an ADV from Highfield... You know, you would have to think so… Yes, they are dayboats. They're also adventure craft, which is why Highfield calls them the ADV7 and ADV9. Problem is, Highfield themselves call them RIBs, and as best as I can tell, they're actually not. Posted on 9 Jun
