The National Swallow Class!

With more than 1,000 individual starts, 2025 was another incredible year with very high levels of activity across the 27 boats racing.

The Championships were conducted in challenging yet enjoyable conditions at Bembridge, IoW, and we had an amazing Cowes Week. Our normal in-harbour mix of series racing an trophy events was highly contested with 9 different winning boats.

In addition to the 2026 Trophy Events, the coming Season offers a class start again at Bicentenary Cowes Week and the Vernon Trophy passage race to Seaview Yacht Club, kindly hosting our National Championships. So, much to look forward to … roll on the 2026 Season!
