The NSCA have published issue 7 and 8 of the interactive magazine dedicated to promoting the Solo across the planet.

May through to June have been a busy two months for most classes, the hangover from Covid is well and truly over, so fleets across the UK have been gagging to go racing. The latest SoloInteractive is full of all the latest gossip, and also has in-depth interactive reports from the Nigel Pusinelli Trophy at WPNSA and the Nation's Cup which recently took place at Carnac.

In just over a week the Superspars/Harken National Championship takes place at Abersoch 16-19 July and with 100 pre entries, is set to be the pinnacle event for the class with some seriously hot competition. SoloInteractive 9 will cover the event in depth so look out for the reports and videos. There are still places available so get a wiggle on if you want to enter.

Read issue 7 / Read issue 8

The NSCA is hopefully leading the way with this latest innovative form of media, witty reporting which while informative, hopefully engages with competitors, Solo owners and importantly non sailors. Painting a picture of the venue, conditions, sailor emotions and going on totally irrelevant but humorous tangents hopefully makes the actual result almost superfluous to the big picture.

Incorporating interviews, footage and on-boat action provides the more technical and brass tacks side of the story - let's face it, it all sounds a bit boring when you replay it to your partner when you get home.

So, we hope even those not interested in the Solo can take a look at the latest two SoloInteractive online magazines and consider enhancing your class with the latest weapon in your media arsenal.

We hope you enjoy the read/visual experience.
