Otter Racing

What a week! we had a range of conditions with everything from lots of breeze to no wind at all and all in boats unlike anything else we have ever sailed before, we finished the round robin in 8th but we were happy with how close the races were becoming after a whole year out of match racing.

The 5-8th races were sailed in tricky shifty weather but luckily we managed to pull it together for the last race and finish in 7th overall!

We had the best week as a crew getting to grips with it all again and loved every minute

None of this would be possible without the amazing support from .keelboat.sailing Apsen and our wonderful hosts

We can’t wait to do more events next year - see you all on the water again soon 🩵

In December 2026 Sophie, H**e and Amy will embark on a 3000 mile row from La Gomera to Antigua as part of .toughest.row
Please go and follow You Row Girl to watch their journey 🚣🏼‍♀️

Day 1 at the Women’s Match Racing World Championships ✅

Super windy all day today, we only sailed two races, one win and one loss but very close matches! After that, racing was postponed while we hoped the wind would drop off! Unfortunately it didn’t, so an early start tomorrow and a big day on the water 💪🏻

Today was the practice day, where we were met with light winds, heavy winds, 180 degree wind shifts, thunder, lightning and torrential rain 🌧️

Despite the weather we got a good session in and are looking forward to racing tomorrow!
