The best of the Bembridge Redwings at North Sails Cowes Week ⛵️🔴

Dating back to 1897, the Redwing has been part of Cowes Week for generations. Its one-design hull and distinctive tall, narrow sail plan make the fleet unmistakable on the Solent.

James Wilson’s Quail claimed the 2026 class victory, with the Downer family’s Enigma second and Rory Morrison’s Paroquet third. 🏆

Heritage, innovation and close racing—all in one remarkable class.

We ALMOST lost it 🫣💥

Special mention to Rocky, our beloved Mavic 4 Pro, who once again held it together in 35 knot gusts shooting North Sails Cowes Week ☝️✨

Also to Spinlock for keeping us safe with their lifejackets in testing conditions. And Musto for keeping us BONE dry when the waves hit 🌊💥
