The clock is ticking down to a thrilling climax at the iQFOiL Senior European Championship held in the scenic Sferracavallo. On what was meant to be the penultimate day of racing, light and unstable winds made competition impossible. The forecast had failed to deliver, the Gulf of Palermo remained tranquil, and no races could be held across any fleet. As a result, the standings from the end of the qualification series lasted into the next day, cementing the top ten competitors in both the men’s and women’s categories for the upcoming, high-stakes Medal Series.
Day four of the Ripe Craftinsure GP14 National Championship 2025 at Tenby Sailing Club left a trail of adventure, drama, and an overwhelming sense of camaraderie in its wake. The 75th Anniversary National Championship powered into its penultimate day with a single race that welcomed a new wind direction - a steady 8-10 knots from the southwest to go against the tide.
The spirited team of Jasper Barnham and Graham Sexton demonstrated an awe-inspiring start right out of the middle of the line. Even though the fleet shifted towards the right to evade the tide, Team Barnham/Sexton held their ground. Through disciplined teamwork, they overtook the McGuinness team on the first run, with Fergus Barnham and Ellie Devereux seizing the third place.
