XR-Race Success in UK Cup Series

The weekend of 31st October and 1st November saw the culmination of the UKWA Cup series in Portland Harbour, Dorset, England. Over the season the UK Raceboard fleet saw forty races across five events. No less than sixty-two competitors took part in highly competitive racing in a huge range of wind and water conditions with even more racing on the 'Inland' circuit.

The UK Raceboard fleet has doubled in numbers this year - a very healthy sign for this class. It now has the biggest number of participants in any racing (excluding the Techno OD Class). In its first full season of competition the Tushingham 9.5m XR-Race sail has seen countless victories and taken first and second place in the overall results. The 8.5m sail has fared well for the ladies as well with success for Annette Kent and Marie Buchanan in various competitions.
