40+ racing catamarans will be competing at the Dart 18 catamaran South West Championships starting the 20th of July. This is also one of the tour events for the UK National Dart 18 Series too so there will be many of the best crews from around the UK taking on some of the best Cornish talent.

Launching from the Windsport Sailing Academy at Mylor Harbour teams will be competing for honours on the waters of the Fal Estuary.

The Windsport team in conjunction with Restronguet Sailing Club will be hosting the event with the race organisation delivering an exciting and competitively fought race series over the two day event.

Teams will be preparing their boats on the Saturday and heading to the race course around midday. A number of local sailing teams will be hoping to beat completion from all over the UK to take home the championship trophy.

The official media boat on the water will be posting live race information online during the racing shared with catamaran racers all over the UK..

The event welcomes the public to view the boats and racing from the Windsport shoreline, view the catamarans on display and talk with the onshore experts about catamarans, catamaran sailing from novice to expert.

Fickle winds and fluctuating fortunes Wednesday was to have been a day of round-the-harbour courses for most of the fleets racing in Poole Week. The Dolphins and Cornish Shrimpers tend to sail round-the-harbour courses anyway - none of this triangle/sausage business for them. Posted on 29 Aug 2024

Blow the wind Southerly (sometimes with a bit of East in it too) Poole Harbour was very much a harbour of two halves on the Tuesday of Poole Week.
