Competitors at the UK Flying Fifteen National Championship woke to clear, sunny skies on the final morning — though some may have wished for a little more sleep after an evening of live music and the England-Norway World Cup match.

Fantastic to see the Streaker Class come together for the 2026 Noble Marine Streaker National Championship at Sunderland Yacht Club.

After a closely fought event, with multiple sailors still in contention going into the final day, Martin Penty completed a remarkable comeback to secure the National Championship title by just two points following a dramatic final race.

Congratulations to all competitors, volunteers and everyone involved in making the event happen.

Read the full event report here 👇

Sunderland 2026 was probably the tightest and most open Streaker Nationals ever. At least six boats were still in close contention going into the final day, but it was Martin Penty from Beaver SC who held his nerve to win the final race.
