WE HAVE OUR 2026 707 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Eleven races. Ten to count. Four days of racing and just two points decided the title.

More T Vicar held their nerve on the final morning to finish on 33 points and take the 2026 707 Sailing National Championship!

Sunday’s race podiums:

🏁 RACE 10
🥇 Three Little Pigs
🥈 Po
🥉 Flat Out

🏁 RACE 11
🥇 Flat Out
🥈 More T Vicar
🥉 Seaword

FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP TOP FIVE:

🥇 More T Vicar — 33 points
🥈 Flat Out — 35 points
🥉 Seaword — 36 points
4️⃣ Tsunami II — 39 points
5️⃣ Turbulence — 46 points

A huge congratulations to Ben Williamson and the More T Vicar team, your 2026 national champions!

Flat Out finished the championship in style with victory in the final race, securing second overall, while Seaword completed a podium separated by just three points.

Close racing, difficult conditions, plenty of position changes and a title that went right down to the final morning. That is exactly what 707 racing is all about.

Congratulations to every crew who competed and thank you for bringing a proper national championship to Scarborough!

A championship like this takes more than boats, crews and a racecourse, it takes people and businesses willing to get behind it.

A huge thank you to our prize sponsors Z Spars UK, Saturn Sails, Proboat, Passenger and Hyde Sails, along with Sail Doctor for their event support.

Between them, they have provided a full set of standing rigging, a changing robe and dry bag, a huge range of prizes, guard-rail covers and plenty more for our competitors.

You haven’t just put your logos on the event. You’ve backed the 707 Sailing class, helped us reward the performances on the water and supported Scarborough Yacht Club in delivering a proper national championship.

Thank you from everyone at SYC, we couldn’t have done it without you!

DAY THREE RESULTS ⛵

Scarborough Bay clearly felt guilty about only giving the fleet one race yesterday, so today it handed over four!

Four races brought four fiercely contested podiums and three different winners:

🏁 RACE 6
🥇 More T Vicar
🥈 Turbulence
🥉 Seaword

🏁 RACE 7
🥇 Seaword
🥈 Three Little Pigs
🥉 Po

🏁 RACE 8
🥇 Flat Out
🥈 Turbulence
🥉 Three Little Pigs

🏁 RACE 9
🥇 Seaword
🥈 Tsunami II
🥉 More T Vicar

After nine races, with eight counting, More T Vicar leads the championship on 24 points.

The top five going into the final day:

1️⃣ More T Vicar — 24 points
2️⃣ Seaword — 27 points
3️⃣ Tsunami II — 28 points
4️⃣ Flat Out — 31 points
5️⃣ Turbulence — 37 points

Just four points separate the top three, so this championship is far from decided.

The first warning signal on Sunday is at 09:25. One final morning of racing in Scarborough, then we crown the 2026 national champions!

Here’s Sunday’s itinerary 👇

See you on the water! 🌊

DAY TWO RESULTS

And the weather had other ideas today!

Difficult conditions meant just one race before racing was brought to an early finish. Disappointing for the sailing programme, but considerably better news for the bar!

Po made the race count, taking the win ahead of More T Vicar and Tsunami II.

Race 5
🥇 Po
🥈 More T Vicar
🥉 Tsunami II

After five races, More T Vicar remains at the top of the leaderboard:

1. More T Vicar – 14 points
2. Tsunami II – 20 points
3. Po – 22 points
4. Seaword – 23 points
5. Turbulence – 25 points

The bar may have benefited from today’s early finish, but tomorrow the alarm clocks won’t, Saturday’s first warning signal has been brought forward to 09:25.

Here’s the full itinerary for day three 👇

See you on the water! 🌊
