Manx Sailing & Cruising Club are hosting their annual ILCA (Laser) Regatta on Saturday 10 October in Ramsey Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be a one day event with the option of switching to the Sunday if the weather doesn\u2019t play ball. Standard, Radial and 4.7 Classes can compete for the overall honours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six short course races, with one discard. If you don\u2019t own a Laser, beg or borrow one (there\u2019s plenty out there). Sailing Instructions can be found at this link \u2013 Laser Regatta 2026-Sailing Instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

The postponed MYA Dinghy Championships hosted by the Manx Sailing & Cruising Club took place in Ramsey last weekend.  The previous dates were cancelled due to Day 1 having way too much wind and Day 2 having no wind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward two weeks, so the tide was in and racing finally took place on the Saturday, lots of wind, with racing on Sunday cancelled due to a weather warning which proved to be absolutely correct with very high wind speeds and torrential rain.\u00a0 Believe it or not, despite the very high likelihood of getting wet, nobody likes sailing in the rain.

Unfortunately the weather scuppered both days, Saturday (too much wind) and Sunday (no wind) so we’ve re-scheduled in the hope we have more luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MYA IOM Dinghy Championships 2026 will now take place in Ramsey Bay on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September hosted by the MS&CC. The first three races on Saturday will have a start time of 10.00 and the concluding races on Sunday will start at 10.30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramsey to Laxey Race<\/a><\/h2><\/div>

There was a great turnout of 13 competitors to take part in the race to Laxey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sailing conditions were excellent for a change, the wind wasn’t on the nose which always helps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first boats crossed the line in Laxey Bay in just under 2 hours with the top 3 only separated by 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Lettie Hyett took line honours, successfully defending her crown from last year, with Joe and Eric Whitelegg in second and Anthony Ellis in third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Keith Poole for officer of the day, hopefully he had time for an ice cream while waiting for the boats to arrive. Thanks also to the patrol boat crews who make the event possible. For more photos visit the MS&CC Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laxey Regatta took place the following day which started with a promising light breeze of 5 knots increasing at times by a few knots. Closer to launch time it had eased back which disheartened some who elected not to venture out to the start line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight optimistic\u00a0crew gathered in the starting area, despite the wind having dropped, hovering around 3 knots. Race Officer Keith Poole (on loan from the MS&CC) chatted to a number of the competitors and it was decided to go ahead. Race 1 was light and for the most part steady with Ffinlo Wright 1st, Simon Pressly 2nd with a dead heat between Keith Holden and Bob Love in 3rd. Race 2 started promisingly but the voids in the wind were approaching quickly and soon put a dampener on things so it was cut short after the first\u00a0lap, similar results with Ffinlo 1st, Simon 2nd and Keith 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
