Well done Tyler!

A rower who hopes to compete in the Coastal British Championships later this year has been awarded the 2026 Jersey Clipper Bursary, worth £1,000. Ryanna Clifford (21) will use the funds for her travel and competition costs as she progresses towards the championships, taking place in Whitby in July.

The 2026 runners-up award of £500 goes to Tyler Horton, another young university student who races Etchell keelboats in the Solent as a member of the Southampton University Yachting team.

We only run two pursuit races during the year and they are great fun, it may seem complicated at first but once you have started it is just great fun, please ask us at the club to explain the start sequence if you are unsure.

Did you know….

That the St Catherine’s Liberation Day regatta has been held every year since the club started 73 years ago. The 3 races held on Liberation day are The Vega, The Beagle and The Liberation Day Trophy; all with historic significance to the Liberation of the Channel Islands. First race of the day is the Vega named after the Red Cross Ship SS Vega that made several trips to Jersey with Red Cross parcels. Then on 9th May 1945, the HMS Beagle arrived at St. Helier harbour and later that day the island was liberated, hence the order of our races!
