Winter: a time that often renders most people dormant, tucked away safely in the coziness of their homes. However, at Rutland Sailing Club, winter is embraced with audacious spirits, challenging the frost-bitten waves and cold, stinging winds in the pursuit of a riveting sport – sailing. Recently, the Club played host to one such event – the Solo Winter Championship – a regatta that firmly establishes sailors’ prowess on the icy seas.

The Rutland Reservoir became an arena of jubilant high-water jousting, where sailorsembarked on solo journeys, wrestling with the unforgiving winter elements while maneuvering their sailing boats skillfully in the choppy waters. Among them were seasoned seafarers and youthful novices alike, adding an eclectic mix to the competitive dynamic.
