WISH Challenger Regatta 12-13 August 2023
We were delighted to host the first ever WiSH Challenger Regatta over this weekend. For those who are unsure, the Challenger is a 15' single-handed trimaran which is predominantly sailed and raced by disabled and less mobile sailors.

Competitors began to arrive on Friday morning and started the process of assembling their boats. As with all these events, it’s lovely to see the excitement gradually build as more arrive and friendships are renewed.
