The Fruzz arived in London ready (despite their name being changed to Solent Fruzz due to unprecedented reasons) with 3 of the crews brand new to team racing, and 1 helm who was only on his second try…
Day one saw some overjoyous reactions to race results, but also saw major dissapointment in others. With 5 wins from 8 races they hoped to secure a place in gold fleet 🤞
Day two started off a little rough, with some of the Fruzz still spiritually in central London, they hit the water strong with 2 race losses💔 With only 4 races left to qualify for semi’s they had to pull something out the hat… 🎩 which ended up being another loss 😔 However their next race was a win!
At the close of gold fleet, the Fruzz were 2/6, which put them joint 4th!

This was followed up by a 1,3,4 in the repechage, and then two 1,2,5’s in the semi’s… They found themselves in the final🥳
By winning the first final in a 1,2,6, and losing the second in a 1,4,6… It came down to the last race…
After a gorgeous gybe back performed by the hero of the event, they placed FIRST!! 🏆
Thank you for such a fun event!!

Last weekend, 25 of our sailors took the long trip up to Durham for the first chance of the year to get some medals, at the BUCS Fleet Racing Championships!! 🏆
After Terry and his minions loaded the 6 stacker on Thursday, we were all ready for the 10 hour drive up on Friday. This led into registration and a social on Friday evening.

After unloading our: 9 fireflies, 3 RS200s and ILCA, it was time for Racing! The first day bought shifty conditions from 7-15 knots throughout the day. We managed to complete 3 races in both the firefly and fast handicap fleets, ending the day strong with 4 fireflies in the top 10 of a 51 boat fleet. Ready for the college bar crawl that evening💪🍻

Day 2 bought similar conditions with big shifts making it difficult for the RC to lay a consistent course. Despite this, they managed to get 2 races in for all fleets to round off the event with 5 races.

✨Overall, we claimed 3rd in the team prize with Terry Hacker/Rosie Davies( 5th), Jack Woolterton/Lucy Street (7th) and Rachel Harper/Alex Paton (9th). Jack and Rachel also received a free entry each to the 80th Firefly nationals this year for being the highest male and female helms to have not competed at the event yet. Rachel and Alex were also the first female helm/boat in the firefly fleet!✨

Big thank you to for hosting and BUSA for organising such a great event, can’t wait to see you next year! And a special thank you to for helping us with trailers and minibuses!!

Last weekend we sent two teams out west to the Plymouth Pasty!✨
The Hot Pinks wore their classically dazzling outfits once again 🩷 and our new development squad made their first outing of the year as Southampton Fruzz!
After a spooky Halloween social on the friday night, both teams had a good first day with Hot Pink joint 1st on 100% of the races, and The Fruzz in 9th with 50%💪
The second day kicked off with a top of the table clash between Hot Pink and Bristol Black, which the Hot Pinks won in a 125🏆
The Fruzz continued sailing well on the second day, including a very close race against the eventual winners Bristol Red.
🌟In the end, Southampton Hot Pink finished 2nd to Bristol Red, after a capsize and 1 boat over in their race together🥈 Southampton Fruzz finished 10th on 44% wins, a great result for their first event!! 🥳

Overall a fun weekend, Thank you very much to for hosting and organising such a fun event!⛵️🌊
