There's a good, moderately breezy forecast for the Sailing Chandlery Datchet Flyer this weekend, 7 & 8 December. There are already more than 50 entries of all shapes and sizes, ranging from a 2.4mR to a foiling Waszp, and many more conventional dinghies in between.

Last year's winner in a Musto Skiff, and now reigning World Champion in the singlehanded trapeze boat, Sam Pascoe is this time crewing for son Benjamin in a 2000 doublehander while Sam's sister Megan Pascoe is racing her 2.4mR keelboat. To join the Pascoe family and all the other competitors...
