Coutts Quarter Ton Cup, June 2012
Solent, England
What an event! Thirty boats closely rated with only seven qualifying for the Corinthian (amateur) trophy. The racing was exceptionally close making this probably the premier event in the Solent at the moment.
Skandia Sail for Gold, June 2012

The weather was terrible! We saw sunshine just once with almost continuous rain on Tuesday and high winds on Thursday and Friday. The best weather was on the last day - the Medal Races.

Finn Masters Worlds, May 2012
Pwllheli, Wales
132 Finn Masters competed in testing conditions that were, in the main, light. Only Thursday provided stable winds of 10-15 knots for the 2 races that day. Seven races were scheduled with an additional fleet race for those not assigned to the Medal Race. …

Vice Admirals Cup, May 2012
Solent, England
16 J109s, 11 Quarter Tonners and 19 SB20s competed over 8 races on the Hillhead plateau of the Solent. All races were windward / leewards and, because the newly named SB20s (SB3s) do not have sail numbers on the spinnakers, the gate was to leeward of the start line so the boats beat to the finish.
…
RYA Eric Twiname, May 2012
Rutland, England
Mike Garvey led this event with Tina Scott, Ros Scott, Jane Windsor and Paul Jackson all from SolentXtra, as well as support from the local members at Rutland.

RS:X Worlds, March 2012
Cadiz, Spain
It was a windy one! Too windy for Silver Group to race at the back end of the week. We also lost an anchor when the stainless steel shackle fractured in a gust of 38 knots that hit the fleet, luckily, just as we were about to start race two so there was no great race management issue - we simply displayed AP/H and returned to the marina to find and fit another anchor.
RS:X Europeans, February 2012
Funchal, Madeira
Robert Lamb and Martin Stephens represented SolentXtra in Funchal, Madeira. Rob was the RS:X Class Race Director.
