Sail GP was back in Portsmouth
Sail GP races- 25 & 26th July from the water off Portsmouth
On July 25 and 26, 2026, the world’s fastest sail racing returned to the Solent for the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix.
We were right on the water, on the periphery of the race course to watch the action as it unfolded.
Races were from 1600 - 1730 on both days and there were three fleet races each day, back to back.

WESTWARD HO in 2026!
For thist year’s Brisbane Star adventures, we started with a cruise to the West Country, offering the chance to spend a week or more on the boat, with a mix of long coastal passages and shorter day-sails, and weekend crew changes.
The south -west is a brilliantly varied area – big harbours (Plymouth and Falmouth), rivers large and small, odd nooks and crannies for anchoring (Helford, Bigbury, Hope Cove), marinas for showers, for example Dartmouth and Falmouth. The plan would be to take two weeks sailing down to and around Cornwall.
First week would took us to Dartmouth.
Second week we sailed down to Falmouth.
We then sailed back up the coast to Gosport, enjoying good south-westerlies for spinnaker/cruising chute runs.
