#sailing #dinghy #boating #racing #boatlife Sixteen of the nation’s top young sailors have been selected to represent Great Britain at the prestigious Youth Sailing World Championships in Vilamoura, Portugal, taking place 12–20 December 2025. The British Sailing Youth Team will take on the best sailors from around the globe, competing across 11 events in six classes: 29er, 420, ILCA 6, Nacra 15, Formula Kite, and iQFOiL. The Championships mirror the Olympic format, bringing together the world’s top youth athletes in male, female, and mixed categories for fair, level competition. The Youth Sailing World Championships represent the pinnacle of the youth pathway, with strict age criteria for sailors aged over 12 and under 19. A springboard for Olympic and professional sailing careers, many former Youth Worlds participants have gone on to achieve Olympic glory—including the world’s most decorated sailor Sir Ben Ainslie.

#sailing #racing #sport #challenge #dinghy #race As part of this year's 150th Anniversary celebrations, the RYA put together a team to take part in West Lancashire Yacht Club's iconic 24 hour dinghy race. The race won event of the year at the RYA Affiliate Awards 2025. The RYA's team was made up of just over 80% of female sailors all of varying abilities from a race coach to a complete beginner and everything in between. Ahead of the event Adam McGovern (RYA North Regional Manager) got a team of volunteers together to get the boat prepped and repaired. The boat was purchased & upcycled with a small budget of £300 (£150 to purchase & £150 to repair), showing that you don’t need to spend loads of money to go sailing, just the willingness to learn some new skills and get stuck in! It also has stopped a once competitive boat from being left in a dinghy park for years to come, this is key for a more sustainable approach to sailing. Following the event, the boat has been donated to WLYC to support more people with getting out on the water racing.
