  In Praise of Syndication

  I had a share of a boat in Greece until recently, and have syndicated my own little racing boat for two or three years now.  I first came upon the idea in the late 70s, when a friend shared a boat in Lymington with three friends. His syndicate worked really well as each had a different area of responsibility (skills based) and they were all good friends. My Greek boat worked well

• Youth First

  The 2026 sailing season is underway with several of our youth members participating in the Starcross Steamer and youth squad training over at WPNSA. Despite spirited racing and impressive efforts in the Starcross Steamer , especially from younger sailors Toby Keates and Leo Shuttleworth, the escalating conditions forced officials to abandon the race on the third lap. Safety was prioritised, and safety crews were allowed to bring the competitors ashore. Over

  Jeremy Parkinson A life in sailing

  It probably helps to have a sea captain among your forebears; a painting on the wall at Jeremy's house shows the 'Emma of Portsmouth', a trading schooner belonging to Jeremy's great-grandfather, Captain Matthew Mitchell. It may also have been the fact that the Parkinson family were neighbours of the legendary Club member Freda Bratby which brought them to join WSC in 1952, with Jeremy as a cadet member. His father, who was also a doctor, bought

  Autumn Cruise - A Kombonation of Rum and Merlot swap Cherbourg for the Solent

  Kombo and Rum Runners original plan was to resurrect the abandoned Cherbourg trip but this had to be altered due to the forecast of light winds. So, a run down to Dartmouth was posited but getting back might be tricky so in the end Kombo (Mike and Paul) and Rum Runner (Gaz) joined Merlot (Bill & Lorraine) with a planned destination of Newtown Creek on the Isle of Wight.  Departure was Monday 27

  Sailing in Cherbourg!

  Bravo a tous! - the words of the préfet maritime echoed round the large room at the Cercle Naval where we were all gathered for the final prizegiving of the season on Saturday evening; the afternoon race, with a demanding course offshore and back in a light south-easterly breeze, had been sailed by some thirty boats from Cherbourg Yacht Club, with a general recall for the start suggesting how keen the competition would be! A busy

  Cruising to Ringstead Goes Ahead Despite Races Cancelled

  Although the annual Ringstead races and BBQ were cancelled on August B/H Sunday, there was still a healthy fleet of cruising boats making the trip across the bay. In a moderate South Easterly wind Double Vision, Merlot, Winters Maid, Solveig, Xanadu, Growling Cougar, Tilted and Moonshadow all had a cracking sail, whilst an ungainly looking mastless Crystella (waiting for new standing rigging before you ask!) rock and rolled to the anchorage under engine.
