Exciting Week 6 of DF95 Spring Series at East Kent Radio Sailing Club and Ash Trophy at Littleton Sailing Club in 2026

The magnificent waters of the East Kent Radio Sailing Club draw a hearty crowd as the sixth week of the highly competitive DF95 Spring Series unfolds. With previous weeks dominated by brisk winds, fans finally witness the appearance of A rigs. Fifteen determined contestants grace the event, with nine skippers engaging in a gruelling 16-race battle in a gentle 6 to 10 knot breeze, emanating from the beautiful Thames Estuary.

In the first race, Mike Brand leads the pack, closely tailed by Peter Jackson. Dave Tomlinson secures the third spot while the rest of the fleet trails behind. The subsequent race sees a switch in positions, with Peter emerging victorious and Mike settling for the second spot.

The initial race witnesses an experienced contestant, Dave Adams, demonstrating excellent sailing acumen by picking the right shifts. John Darbyshire tailgates him closely while Alan Viney secures the third spot. Unlike previous years, the Ash Trophy competition levels up, increasing anticipation for future events.

These events reflect the spirit of yachting: a fusion of strategic prowess and competent seamanship set against an inspiring aquatic backdrop. Both East Kent Radio Sailing Club and Littleton Sailing Club leave fans eagerly awaiting their next maritime adventures.
