Just a few days before Stone SC host the first of the 2025 Super Series to be held in the eastern region. The two day event consisting of a six race series over the weekend of the 5th/6th April will be sailed on the championship waters of the River Blackwater.

The club are excited to holding the event which has a reputation of providing a great social atmosphere as well as great sailing and race management. Briefing will be 11.30 hrs with a planned first race at 12.30.

The forecast is looking amazing for the weekend with a fresh N-Easterly .

It's rumoured that last years Super Series winner Rob Cook - Northampton SC will be in attendance along with lots of other hot shots to knock him of the pedestal! There's sure to be a big turnout from the eastern massive as well as visitors from other regions.

Local knowledge will be a big plus so competition will be strong.

The Super Series consists of seven events throughout the year from April to October located across all regions, so if you aren't able to make the first event in the series there's plenty more to choose from and qualify.

The second event in the series at the end of the month, will be hosted at the ever popular Northampton SC in the midlands region over the weekend of the 26th/27th April preceded by a training day on the Friday 25th April..

It's a great way to meet and sail against other regional sailors, happy to share their wisdom and most likely tell a few tales over a glass or two of their favourite tipple !

Enjoy the series, the racing and the social side of Phantom Sailing!

GJW Direct are proud to support the 2025 Phantom Super Series.
