Loch Tummel Sailing Club hosted the RYA Scotland Late Summer Championships aimed at youth and junior pathway classes over the weekend of 24-25 of September.
There was close competition in the Optimist, Topper, ILCA, 420, Feva, Techno and iQFOiL classes, alongside a super-fun regatta fleet for junior Optimist and Topper sailors run by a team of race coaches.
The event in central Scotland brought together sailors from all the pathway classes with different goals for the weekend, from first-time foiling or racing to those experienced sailors looking for the class win.
RYA Scotland chair Brian Wilson spent the weekend at the event meeting sailors, their families and volunteers at the event.
“It was fantastic to see so young sailors taking part in this event from all over the country,” he said. “The volunteers at Loch Tummel have been extremely accommodating alongside the parents who have assisting in the volunteer roles on the race team to ensure the best possible racing for these aspiring sailors. A massive thank you, really top job.
“We are now focussed on helping these sailors throughout the winter training block of academies and performance teams as they strive for their different goals in whatever class they are sailing and whatever stage in their racing journey.”
