World Sailing Youth World Championships - Update
It's been all on so far at the Youth Worlds! Day 1 was ultralight conditions and Day 2 gusted upwards of 30 knots...
Multiple fleet have missed out on races and will need to catch them up further emphasizing the importance of having a consistent start to the regatta.
Alice and Klara Travlos find themselves in 5th overall after managing just one race in the Female Skiff. With fellow club man Imogen Bates in 11th in the Female Two Person Dinghy after two races.
You can follow the results via the website here...
RTYF ILCA Pre-Nationals Camp
The Ron Tough Yachting Foundation will be supporting the annual ILCA pre-nationals training camp hosted out of FSC. The camp will run from the afternoon of Friday the 19th right across the weekend.
This is an excellent opportunity to sharpen your skills with some deliberate high intensity practice before the big dance.
Not going to nationals? You're still welcome to join and maximize the training opportunity.

ACADEMY TRAINING DATES
Next Week will be the last week of training at the academy until school returns in 2026!
The last session will be on Saturday the 20th of December and we will return the week of the 2nd of February in conjunction with the school term.
Former FSC Dinghy Sailors at the 80th Rolex Sydney to Hobart
FSC Dinghy sailors aren't just dominating the dinghy scene, they're breaking into the world off offshore sailing and pro yachting.
Jack Joyner, Kieran Bucktin and Vass Katsaitis all raced out of FSC most notably in the 29er class. All three reached the very peak of high performance skiff racing and have found themselves together again as the bow team on the 70ft mini-maxi "Money Penny".
Just another example of the lifelong friendships and quality sailors that make up #TeamFreo
CLIPPERS VISIT FREMANTLE
The clipper around the world yacht race is currently in town stopping over at FSC between legs.
The boats will be here until the 21st of December when they commence the next leg of the race to Airlie Beach in Queensland.
Further information around boat tours and public events for the clippers can be found here...
School Team Racing Regatta
This year mixed school entries are being accepted to the inter school team racing regatta.
Band together some other Freo sailors and get practicing ahead of the regatta next which will run from the 15th to the 17th of April 2026.
Teams racing is one of the best ways to develop racing and tactical skills and you get to race with your mates!

Dogs at FSC
Back at the March 2025 General Meeting members voted not to allow dogs on site.
Dogs are only allowed on a leash whilst transporting between a boat and a vehicle.
