So to the Ferry Marine Inland Championship and Davenport again won all the races sailed to take the title ahead of Andrew Wilde and Paul Davis, the fleet of 50 Solos enjoying a full-on day 1 before a trickier finale in lighter airs. With just the Ferry Marina EOS to go, NSCA Membership Sec and Race result guru John Steels was able to factor in best scores from one of the chosen Area Championships, winners of these included:
Southern- Andrew Wilde Eastern- Oliver Davenport Welsh- Chris Brown Western- Tim Law Northern- Dave Winder Midland- Cancelled Scottish- Charlie Bracknell
57 entries at the EOS reflected both the good weather and some breathing space from the previous event and with 7 major events under our belts, the average attendance was 44 per regatta. Jasper Barnham had a great day, taking the title with his final race bullet from Oliver Davenport and Mike Sims with Andy Carter pipping Charlie Cumbley for a memorable fourth. Davenport therefore is the 2025 North Sails Super Series Champion from Mike Sims, Andrew Wilde, Paul Davis and Chris Brown. A great e ff ort by all who have entered a major event or more through this season, we hope you enjoyed the racing, the camaraderie, the prize pots from our generous sponsors and most of all the Solo experience. 2026 promises lots of action and our reps have ensured clashes of the bigger events will be minimised, the highlights which you really should attend are the National Championship in Torbay, the Nation’s Cup in Quiberon and the Inland Championship at Grafham Water. It would be great to hit the 100 mark at any of these in our 70th Anniversary year. The 2026 Calendar is already set and published elsewhere on our site www.solosailing.org.uk, Please do consider attending events next year and if you do not own a Solo there is no better time than now to purchase one, new or secondhand, the memories will last a lifetime. Sail Solo, established in 1956 and still going strong.
