- Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders have delivered an encouraging top ten result at the first ever Nacra 17 World Championship ending the regatta in 9th place.

- Angus Haslett reports on the final day of the 2013 Optimist World Championships sailed last week at Lake Garda, Italy… The final day of racing has produced a mix of highs and lows.

The race committee decided not to sail early which may have been a pity as a nice peler breeze stayed in until about 11am.
- This Race Coach Course will be held at NBYTRA on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th October. 11h October 5-9pm 12th October 9-5pm

Two wild card teams joined the regatta and both will be competing in the Red Bull Youth America's Cup. The teams were the Swiss and the local team from Portugal. It was exciting to line up against two of the teams we will be racing in September!
