Micro Championships 2026
A Close Downwind Leg
The weekend of 10th and 11th October saw the eagerly anticipated and hotly contested end of season championships for Micro 18 and Gem yachts on the river Stour, sailed from Manningtree.
9 entrants in total sailed over the weekend in varying conditions – a gusty 20+ mph westerly on Saturday producing some dramatic downwind sailing and a more gentle 10mph WSW through to NSW on Sunday requiring different skills. Temperatures were below what we have been used to recently, but the multi-race format kept everyone warm (unless you capsized!).
With different scoring and discards across both the passage races out to and back from the race area and the windward/leeward series, the close racing provided for different winners.
The club and fleet once again appreciate East Anglian Sailing School's support with their sponsorship providing a selection of goodies, supplemented by SSC bottles and silverware, allowing every competitor and race support person taking away a 'prize' at the end of the day.
