Stand C42, 21-22 February 2026
The XOD Class Association will be exhibiting at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show 2026 on stand C42.
On display will be Thom Board's beautifully restored Lucrezia X140. Lucrezia has a brilliant racing record especially in the hands of Ado Jardine who won the coveted Captains Cup in her in 2003. Ado recently paid Lucrezia a visit and was delighted to see her looking so splendid. On the stand will be Class experts with multiple Captain's Cup winner John Tremlett amongst others able to give advice.
At its last AGM the Class approved sitting four on the deck with an aim to encourage younger and more female sailors. The Class also approved an improved spinnaker design hopefully making it easier to set. 2026 is the Cowes bicentenary year, and the home of the Captain's Cup. After just a few days of entries being open, we have 17 boats entered already.
With Club racing in Poole, Lymington, Yarmouth, Hamble and Itchenor, together with the open Traveller's Series, there is something for everyone.
