Racing round-up
Sailing Today|November 2020
August and September saw a flurry of racing activity, with events taking place across the country. Here are just some of the highlights...
Racing round-up

Oulton Week was hosted by the Waveney & Oulton Broad Yacht Club. With Covid restrictions, the week was re-organised to four days of racing, although this was hampered by Storm Francis. River Cruiser entries were down to seven, but the keelboat fleet was strong with 15 Broads One Designs, five Yare & Bures, 12 Waveneys and eight Squibs.

The Land Union September Regatta was a major event in September, with racing and shoreside activities organised by the Royal Southern Yacht Club. Class winners were: Glyn Locke’s Toucan (HP30); Dave Bartholomew’s Tokoloshe 3 (IRC 1); Howell & Newell’s Arcus (IRC 3); Graham Nixon’s Magic (Club Class); Jonnie Goodwin’s RYS Team (J/70); Gary Rossall’s Little X (XOD). Prizes from sponsors Land Union, Antigua Sailing Week and North Sails included flights to Berlin and accommodation at five-star hotels; complimentary dockage and entry to the 2021 edition of Antigua Sailing Week; North Sails provided prizes from their clothing range, as well as technical support for the regatta.
