The 2025 JOG season concluded under shifting skies and light airs at the Henri-Lloyd Cowes–Lymington weekend, offering one last test for crews and a reminder of the fine margins in tidal racing.

Strong winds kept the Stoneways Marine Insurance Cowes–Poole Race Weekend in the Solent, but ‘Plan B’ served up two days of tough, tactical racing, with plenty of place-changing, drama and determination across the fleet.

The TeamO Cowes–Cherbourg Offshore, organised by JOG in partnership with RORC, delivered a thrilling offshore contest for sailors of all ages, with JOG yachts featuring prominently across the leaderboard.

24 entrants from both sides of the Channel set off in light winds, necessitating just a 15-minute postponement, giving a chance for all classes to get away cleanly through the Solent Forts and past Bembridge to a finishing line at La Semoy buoy, close to the harbour approaches at Deauville.

The Nautical Cloud Channel Race to St Peter Port delivered a classic late-summer challenge, with 32 yachts across three IRC classes, plus Double Handed and Generation JOG divisions, contesting the 95-mile course from Cowes to Guernsey.

June is always a busy month in the Solent with multiple regattas in play so the “passage race”, in JOG Yacht Racing style, provided a great opportunity in a good breeze and sunshine to experience a different taste to “round the cans” events.
