The second edition of SoloInteractive is out now and is packed full of articles, tips and interactive videos, all promoting the Solo racing dinghy.
There is a spotlight on the new Rooster/Gingerboats Solo with an interview with Steve Cockerill.
Chris Brown won the Inland Championship in September so no better time to ask him how he rigs his Solo. You can also watch his upwind technique in the interactive link.
The Superspars End of Season Championship was well supported, there is a full report and event video so immerse yourself in the drama of watching 57 competitors battle it out.
Jon Clarke (Edge Sails) is a Solo sailor with an extraordinary tacking technique, balletic and graceful. He is also a multiple area Champion so maybe he has the right idea. Watch his technique and marvel.
The Rooster Nationals was hugely successful but Race 3 saw on the water judge Steve Watson highlighting rule book interpretations he probably never even knew existed. Read his own thoughts and those of some of the competitors...sorry, no video of the protest room dramas.
The NSCA entered a number of beautiful Vintage Solos into the Concours D'elegance competition in early 2021, check out the video in this edition.
Want to know what it feels like to be on a Solo start line? get on board with Hyde Sails Richard Lovering who finished 4th at the recent EOS Championship.
