As promised, we were at the recent Skiff Grand Prix, Kielder Water Sailing Club. Great action on the water with a talented set of skills on show. We’ve been having a look through some of the footage as we thought you might want to relive the action…

First up we have a racer who takes a bit to get going but, once he catches the wind, almost leaves our camera (and motorboat) behind!

With the sailing season getting serious we are calling all budding videographers and photographers to send us their footage and pics. With video analysis playing a big part in the sport (and providing you with a chance to show off your skills) we are on the hunt for your films and images. We will get these up on the blog so the Scottish Sailing community can all appreciate your efforts.

Either post the video/link directly on the blog or email to stephen@scottishsailing.com. Whether you’ve won awards, submitted an entry to the Oscars or not really sure which end of the camera to point at the water, all demos gratefully received.

We like to let our Blog readers know about what we’re up to as soon as possible. We have just added the excellent Queensport Hotshirt to our range from the Australian company.

Made from a revolutionary Polypropolene Fibre this is the perfect lightweight top for sailing in Cold Climates (i.e. across the UK).

The unique film helps prevent the evaporative cooling effect and has the ability to be able to transport moisture away from the body keeping your skin dryer and warmer. Have a look here.
