Team Racing Challenge 2026
Get ready to sharpen your tactical mind and your boat-handling skills! We are incredibly excited to announce the SailingChandlery.com Team Racing Challenge 2026. This event is designed to celebrate the art of team racing, bringing sailors together for a high-energy competition where strategy is just as important as speed.
The Fleet: Legends Reborn
The heart of this challenge lies in our fleet of six Club Larks. These iconic boats have undergone a complete professional restoration specifically for this event series.
We owe a massive thank you to SailingChandlery.com for sponsoring the restoration of these boats. Their support has ensured that our fleet is not just functional, but optimised for the tight, competitive manoeuvres that team racing demands.
Event Roadmap
We are building this challenge to be a sustainable, inclusive part of the racing calendar:
- 2026: The Launch (Members Only) For the inaugural year, the challenge is open exclusively to club members. Its the perfect opportunity to learn the rules of team racing and get a feel for the newly restored Larks in a friendly, supportive environment.
- 2027: Going Wider (Clubs & Associations) Next year, we open the gates! Well be inviting outside clubs and sailing associations to join the fray, turning the challenge into a premier regional event for the team racing community.
