The Albacore class are delighted to be part of this weekend's first ever virtual RYA Dinghy Show and are excited that anything to do with Albacores can be accessed from the Albacore stand in Hall 1. There's everything from videos to a full events list and from boats to buy to how to join the class.

The highlight of our sailing year is the Internationals event at Plas Heli in Pwllheli, North Wales which is due to commence on Saturday 31 July and conclude on Friday 6 August. Our fingers are crossed that diminishing Covid restrictions and the increasing pace of vaccinations will allow our fellow North American and Canadian Albacore sailors to come over to compete alongside the British sailors.

The class has a demo boat available for anyone to try Albacore sailing so get online over the weekend and find out more about Albacore!

Yet another windy day to close out the event Competitors awoke on the fifth and last day of the event to yet another windy day. Talking to Michael McNamara whilst rigging, it had been the windiest Albacore Nationals he could remember for a very, very long time. Posted on 5 Aug 2023 Albacore Internationals at Abersoch day 4
UK National Championships goes to Nev Herbert and Lewis Fowler Well day 4 will go down as "fresh to frightening". Wind, waves and sun, not quite as much of the last of those but enough to add to the experience. The first race of the day was series race 8 and the final one for the UK Nationals.

Wind dropped all day and the sea state went from predictable to sloppy At last the sun came out to greet the fleet at the committee boat with the wind as forecast at 15 to 20 knots. The sail out gave everyone the chance to practice their downwind techniques ready for the triangle-sausage courses. Posted on 2 Aug 2023 2023 Albacore Internationals at Abersoch Day 2
An epic day for the fleet! Abersoch delivered an epic day for the Albacores with a base wind of 16 knots gusting 24 knots, with a SW breeze producing proper surfing conditions. To add to some of the carnage that produced, we got controversy with effectively two winners! Posted on 1 Aug 2023
