Sailingchandlery.com Team Racing Challenge 2026

Published 10:51 on 2 Apr 2026

Something special has been brewing in the boat shed, and we are finally ready to pull back the curtain. We are proud to announce a fresh partnership with SailingChandlery.com to launch the 2026 Team Racing Challenge—an event centred on tactical wit, close-quarters boat handling, and community spirit.

If youve walked past the dinghy park recently, you might have noticed a transformation. Our fleet of six Club Larks are being overhauled and restored to peak racing condition.

This project was made possible through the generous sponsorship of SailingChandlery.com. Their commitment to the restoration means these iconic boats are now perfectly tuned for the high-intensity manoeuvres and "rule-book-testing" moments that define great team racing.

The 2026-2027 Vision

This isnt just a one-off trophy; its a long-term plan to grow the sport at our club:

• Phase 1 (2026): This year is all about our club members. Whether you are a seasoned tactician or have never heard of a "mark trap," this is your year to jump into the Larks, learn the ropes, and enjoy the thrill of team-on-team competition in a welcoming environment.
• Phase 2 (2027): Once weve established our home-grown fleet, well be inviting neighbouring clubs and associations to join us on the water, expanding the challenge into a standout event for the wider sailing community.
