Bartley Beast Series 2025/2026


 

As the winter draws in and the Open meeting circuits move into hibernation it is time to look to the winter series events to ensure good use of expensive drysuits and thermal wear.


Now in its 5th year, with a winning formula of 2 races for single handers and 2 races for double handers each day, enabling some warm-up and social time between races and separation between the fleets to keep the racing competitive and clean.


The 2024/25 season was heavily disrupted by unfavourable winds, but this year we must be due some good days. Over the last few years single handed fleets including the usual ILCA, Solo, Supernova, Phantoms, OKs, Finns, Streakers and Lightening 368s to name a few. The double handers had strong fleets of Merlins, Albacores, and RS400s, joined by RS200s, GP14s, Enterprise, National 12 and Tasars. The range of abilities from National Champions to club members sailing in their first season really does promote an event for all.


So why not have a race of really competitive racing and encourage your friends from your class or club and make this an 'away day' to join in with other travellers and local sailors alike.


Tilly's Galley will be open at the club to ensure all are well fed with full cooked breakfasts available and the usual hot lunch options to warm participants from the inside.


Summary of the Series:


Location: Bartley SC, Genners Lane, Birmingham

Each event comprises 2 races per day for single handers and 2 races per day for double handers

The individual events build to a 4 Day series over 4 months with 6 of 8 races to count for the series

Entry is only £15 for single handers per day and £20 for double handers per day, or sign up for all of the events for £45 single handers and £60 double handers.

Event dates are: 8th November 2025, 6th December 2025, 10th January 2026, 14th February 2026

All 4 events of the series are now open for entry on-line at www.bartleysailingclub.com

This event has is limited to 70 boats, so sign on now.


We hope to see you at the first event 'The Beast Awakens' on 8th November.

Britain and America this weekend in the final showdown of the 6th series of the BA Cup


 

Britain and America will go head to head in the final showdown of the 6th series of the BA Cup


The British Team includes Arthur Henderson, Scott Wallis & Andy Cornah, fresh from their victory on American soil at the Lee Family Trophy in Seawanhaka earlier this month, and the fourth skipper is Murray Hampshire, who has won the UK Keelboat Team Racing Championships for the past three years running. Their crews are Tim Gratton, Josh Voller, Jack Hanslope, Guy Brearey, Honor Fell, Rosie Watkins, Calum Healey, Jemima Lawson, Jamie Webb, Matt Wallis, Emma Baker and Simon Morris.

The American Team includes a mix of youth and veterans with Joel Hanneman once again teaming up Andy Herlihy, who is poised to compete in his 12th BA Cup, and younger talents Christopher Williford, and David Thompson. They will be crewed Jon Hammond, Sam Barron-Fox, Dave Constants, Matt Coughlin, Amy Ironmonger, Ed Lebens, Liz Herlihy, Kate Nota, Kyle Shattuck, Sara Stone, Greg Stevens and Mike Welch.


The Match is a best-of-13 series. With races lasting 45 minutes, it is the first team to 7 wins who will be crowned champions of the 6th Series of the BA Cup. So far, the British Team's only series win came in 1924, while the American Team has claimed the other four.

Guests and competitors will raise a glass of Nyetimber to the winners at Saturday evening's Prize Giving Dinner.

RTYC Rear Commodore Sailing Tom Partridge said: "The British-American Cup is one of sailing's most special and unique events, bringing together world-class team racing sailors. Both teams are fiercely determined to claim victory in this the sixth series decider! The last showdown was incredibly close and judging by this season's form, this promises to go right down to the wire."

The Royal Thames would like to thank Significant signs with their support to make the event standout and KSail for providing the results and Noticeboard services plus some very special umpire gifts.

Chichester Feva and ILCA Harbour Series returns for 2025-2026


 

The Chichester Harbour Series is back in full force, with the first races on October 30th and 31st. Now in its fifth year, the Series is open to all RS Feva and Ilca sailors from any of the Chichester Harbour Clubs — or anyone who can launch from one. The Series provides junior sailors a chance to keep their skills sharp with competition—and fun—through the autumn and into the spring.


The Series is a continued collaboration between Bosham Sailing Club, Hayling Island Sailing Club and Itchenor Sailing Club and each one serves as main host for one of the three events. Sailors rig and launch from their own clubs and then rendezvous at the host committee boat.


It is a great adventure with friends that has all the logistical simplicity of club racing paired with the excitement of a bigger fleet Grand Prix. Coaches are on hand to offer tips in between races so that sailors can use the feedback to keep fine tuning their skills and tactics.


At each Harbour Series weekend, you can count on a great sense of community amongst the races, the race officers and the volunteers who are on the water making it a reality. Behind it all are the sailing managers of the host clubs who go above and beyond to make it possible: Ryan Breach from Itchenor, Mike Storey from Bosham and Theo Galyer from Hayling Island. Their help on and off the water is invaluable, and you nearly always will find them on the Committee Boats orchestrating it all.


All sailors and guests from the ten Chichester Harbour Clubs are welcome to join all three events:


Thursday 30 and Friday 31 October 2025, hosted by Bosham

Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 November 2025, hosted by Itchenor

Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April 2026, hosted by Hayling Island

Entry is just £5/day. Sign up at www.itchenorsc.co.uk/event/1062817


We hope to see lots of new sailors out on the water!


A tremendous thank you to everyone who has supported the Harbour Series events and congratulations to all of the past winners.

RYA National Match Racing Championship Grand Final 2025


 

Ten of the country’s top teams battled it out over an action-packed three days of racing across a full range of wind conditions at Queen Mary Sailing Club (17-19 October).


With a ready-to-go fleet of Sonar keelboats provided by Royal Thames Yacht Club, racing got underway on the Friday with four flights completed in shifty lights airs.


Teams included RYA Youth Match Racing and British Universities & Colleges Sport Match Racing champion Jamie Tylecote; RYA Women’s Match Racing champion Alice Lucy; and Ben Tylecote and Fred Salter, who presented GBR at the 2025 Youth Match Racing Worlds. Also competing was a young team from Oxford Sailing Club, all aged 14-16 and skippered by Daniel Larsen, who was among the crew that won the U-19 RYA youth title in 2025.


Saturday brought a steady south easterly 8-10 knots of breeze slowly clocking right as forecast, enabling the rest of the round robin series to be completed, with a number of results having to be separated on countback, such was the quality of the fleet.


Topping the leaderboard were the teams of Ben Tylecote and Nick Devereux in first and second, each counting eight wins from their nine matches, with Oli Hale and Jamie Tylecote sitting third and fourth overall respectively, both with six wins.


An extremely tight repechage then went down to the very last race to decide which of the seven teams from 4th to 10th in the round robin would go through the semi-finals.


The racing for the repechage began on the Saturday afternoon and continued into Sunday with a building breeze of up to 15 knots to test teamwork and boat handling.


Terry Hacker’s Southampton University SC team, who had finished the round robin in fifth overall, topped the repechage results to leapfrog into the semi-finals, with the next three teams of Fred Salter, Jamie Tylecote and Julian Fung finishing 5th to 7th and having to be separated on countback.


Hacker would continue his winning ways, taking Semi Final 1 with a 2:0 scoreline from Rutland Sailing Club skipper Ben Tylecote to make it all the way into the final.


Semi Final 2 meanwhile saw two photo finishes and plenty of penalty flag waving for Nick Devereux and Oli Hale, each claiming a race win before Devereux took the third.


Tylecote went on to win the Petit Final 2:0 from Oli Hale to finish on the podium in third overall.


A hard fought final then went to four matches with Devereux ultimately winning 3:1 from Hacker, who having won Qualifier 1 of 2025 in his first ever match racing event as a skipper, finished his season in style with silver at the Grand Final.


Top three


Nick Devereux, Steph Orton, Matt Taylor, Alex Hughes

Terry Hacker, Tim Evans, Mathias Potter, Lucy Street (Southampton University SC)

Ben Tylecote, Issy Leetch, Dylan Beatty, Harry Burge (Rutland SC)


Winning skipper Nick Devereux said: “It was a great weekend. We really enjoyed the racing and completing the round robin on Saturday in a good position. The racing was really close with everyone, and we never felt like we were given an easy race all weekend, especially in the semis and final against Oli and Terry. As a team we have done little bits of sailing together and so just sticking to the basics and keeping a routine I think really helped us, along with Steph, Matt and Alex keeping the boat going really quickly.”

Howth Yacht Club Dinghy Frostbite Series Kicks Off in November


 

The Howth Yacht Club (HYC) Dinghy Frostbite Series is set to return this November. It promises exceptional racing and a sense of community on Ireland’s east coast.


Running every Sunday from November 2nd to March, the series attracts racers of all levels to the waters north of Howth Harbour


Competitors can expect well-organised races with tight turnarounds and fair conditions. The HYC race team is known for its professionalism and attention to detail.


The format includes two races each Sunday morning, featuring both windward-leeward and triangular courses. A three-minute start sequence will enhance tactical skills and boat handling.


The Frostbite Series has a rich history dating back to the 1970s, when fleets of over forty Lasers raced. Notable names from those early days, such as Gordon Maguire and Robert Dix, gained international acclaim.


While the types of boats may have changed, the dedication to winter dinghy racing remains strong. The series marked its 50th anniversary last winter, celebrating a legacy of competitive spirit.


Participants can join a diverse fleet, from Laser/ILCA classes to Melges 15s, RS Aeros, and IDRA 14s. All dinghies with a PY rating under 1220 are welcome.


“Frostbite racing offers a mix of challenge and fun,” said HYC organiser Conor Murphy. The friendly atmosphere encourages family participation, with many pairings racing together.


The first gun sounds at 10:45 am on November 2nd. Interested sailors can register through the HYC website. Be part of this iconic winter sailing tradition.

Autumn Passage Race 2025 at Horning Sailing Club


 

Given the mist and 1mph winds forecast for Saturday, there was some trepidation amongst the sailors planning to take part in Horning Sailing Club's Autumn Passage Race, now in its third year. Despite this, some 47 boats arrived in Horning from across the Broads, hoping for better conditions.


Billed as the Three Rivers Race without the bridges, the original plan was to sail towards Womack and up towards Acle before returning to Horning. The morning of the race saw the water like a millpond and not a breath of wind in the air; however, just as the briefing began, a very gentle breeze started to pick up and the decision was made that racing would go ahead but would start at St Benet's Abbey, with the turning buoys just beyond Thurne Windmill and Upton Dyke.


The race entrants were dominated by river cruisers, with 22 taking part. Surprisingly, there were only three dinghies - two Norfolk Punts and a Wayfarer, the remainder keelboats, including strong fleets of Yeoman (8), Rebels (6) and Reedlings (4) - the latter two boats designed for the Broads.


It proved not to be a day for the faster craft, and the race was won by one of the three dinghies - Wayfarer "Selkie" helmed by Jeremy Evans.


Second was Jack Barnham in Yare & Bure Peacock, and Kevin Edwards (Rebel Maid) third. Fourth was River Cruiser Vacuna (on handicap the slowest river cruiser participating) helmed by Simon Bryan. Waveney "Snakeshead" sailed by Alex New was fifth, whilst 21 seconds on handicap separated the next four finishers. Sixth was Peter Brown in Rebel Rothay, whilst Stuart Bailey in Reedling Jaws was seventh. Coming in eighth and first Yeoman was Steve Middleditch in Scorpio, whilst Robert Hancock in Reedling Siskin was 9th. Completing the top ten was Peter Goshawk in River Cruiser "Grayling."



RYA Green Blue University Sailing Sustainability Challenge sets sail for 2026


 

The RYA Green Blue University Sailing Sustainability Challenge, sponsored by the Royal Thames Yacht Club, is back for another year - inspiring students to lead the way in sustainable sailing and environmental responsibility across the UK.


Run by the RYA Green Blue, the Challenge celebrates university sailing clubs that champion sustainability and embed eco-friendly practices in their day-to-day activities — both on and off the water.


Running until February, this year's competition will culminate in an Awards Ceremony held for the first time at the British Universities Sailing Association (BUSA) Championships in April.


Participating clubs will focus on eight key sustainability categories, including improving water quality, protecting biodiversity, engaging young sailors, advocating for positive change, and making events more environmentally sustainable.


"The Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for university sailing clubs to showcase the incredible work they do in sustainability, make a real difference to their local environment, and inspire the wider boating community," said Kate Fortnam, RYA Sustainability Manager.


"We've seen some brilliant examples of how clubs can lower their impact without it being expensive or difficult. Every club can make simple, practical changes that create a lasting positive effect and we're excited to see what this year's competitors will bring to the table."


The RYA Green Blue University Sailing Challenge not only promotes environmental awareness but also empowers the next generation of sailors to take meaningful action in protecting the playground we all love.


Sailing clubs can play a vital role in supporting university sailors to complete the challenge.


For more information and to enter your University Sailing Club into the Challenge visit the University Sustainability Challenge webpage or contact the RYA Green Blue team at environment@rya.org.uk

Streaker HD Sails Northern Paddle Series Open at Winsford Flash Sailing Club


 

Winsford Flash Sailing Club held its first ever Streaker open meeting on 11 October. This event was part of the 2025 HD Sails Northern Paddle Series.


In the heart of Cheshire, Winsford Flash SC (WFSC) has a 90 acre lake fed by the River Weaver which runs to the west side of the lake, separated by a bund.


With light winds forecast from very early in the week a low attendance was anticipated but a total of nine helms took to the water, seven from the home club were joined by Martin McKettrick from Southport SC and Dave Borrett from Beaver SC.


After three exciting races the fleet retired to the club house for much needed refreshments and to reflect on the day. Closing remarks and thanks were made by Jim Murie the Menagerie Class Captain (who helms a Byte) to the race officers, the safety boat crews, Carl Ellis, Eric Hazeldene, Frank Lafferty, Jonathan Latham and the galley team, Kathy and Janet. The prizes were awarded by Zoe. An endeavour award was made to Rick Hough who improved his finishing position in each and every race.


Overall Results:

This year's Streaker season concludes with the End of Season Championship at Northampton Sailing Club on 25 October. The event is the series decider for the Rooster Super Series, HD Sails Northern Paddle Series and North Sails Southern Paddle Series.

Micro Championships at Stour Sailing Club


 

The weekend of 11th and 12th October saw the eagerly anticipated and hotly contested end of season championships for Micro 18 and Gem yachts on the river Stour, sailed from Manningtree. With a crew of two, these 18ft lifting-keel boats meet the Micro cup rule, one size down from Mini cuppers. They were designed by Stephen Jones and Rob Humphreys respectively.


Ten boats competed in the two days of racing, 8 Gems and 2 Micro 18s, including two new-to-the-club boats, which were ready and launched just in time to take part. Two of the club's Micros were absent due to logistic problems and injury but the others could be seen undergoing feverish bottom-scrubbing and rig-adjusting during the preceding days.


High pressure over the UK meant that the championships were held in light wind, perhaps just favouring the unballasted Gems.


The usual weekend format of passage races out and back to the race area for the main championship windward/leewards provided 8 scheduled races and winners for three categories; windward/leewards (Micro Championships, includes Micros and Gems), Gem Championships and Passage Races, with varying discards and exclusions applying and silverware awarded for each.


The tricky conditions produced close racing with concentration needed to find the breeze and tease every bit of speed out of the boats during the lulls.


A well done to all the competitors and it was great to welcome some new faces to an ever-expanding fleet. A big thank you also to our local sponsors who supplied prizes for all entrants.


An invitation to all Gems and Micros to join us in 2026 - easy launching, moorings provided (foc for the event) and pontoon space over the weekend. A new idea for 2026 may be an additional County Championships; Essex vs Suffolk.


Overall Results:

1st Gemini Cricket - Ellie and Edd Harvey-Bates

2nd Pathogem - Evie and Ed Roberts

3rd Italia - Ed and Nick Evans


Gem Championships

1st Pathogem - Evie and Ed Roberts
