Noble Marine Solo Winter Championship at Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club by Nigel Davies & Guy Mayger 2 Feb 17:59 GMT I've been kindly volunteered to put a few words together for all those unlucky Solo sailors who were not able to join us at Chew Valley. You missed a near perfect day's sailing! I got there early, 09:40 for a 12:00 start. At least two thirds of the fleet had already arrived and I wondered what time they got up! We were greeted by a cold dullish day and very little wind.

Please select your home edition or Edition Solo class Tyler Trophy at Hayling Island Sailing Club by Paul Davis & Guy Mayger 5 Apr 20:59 BST With the forecast looking like it could be a lively Tyler Trophy at HISC, 30 Solos descended on Hayling Island this last weekend.

Solo Open at Mengeham Rythe Sailing Club
With Windguru offering up the possibility of 0 knots, gusting 1 knot, in the middle of the day things weren't looking good for racing at Mengeham Rythe on Saturday Sept 29th. After some Facebook discussion, and with many sailors in the locale, a very healthy fleet of 29 Solos took to the waters of Chichester harbour for three most excellent races.
Solo Open at Portchester Sailing Club
An impressive fleet of 21 Solos from as far afield as Essex descended on historic Portchester on a damp and grey day, not the weather we had become accustomed to in recent months. On the plus side though a decent breeze was forecast and overall, we got lucky with only minimal moisture from the leaden sky. After the sailors had fuelled up on their bacon sandwiches, we were briefed by race officer Paul Oakey.
