If you own an International 14, 18ft Skiff, 49er or RS800 and fancy a bit of a challenge, then make sure you sign up for the Red Bull Tide Ride.

This one-off event, due to take place at Hayling Island SC on 1-2 September, is an elimination slalom regatta to be held over short courses close to the shore to allow spectators the opportunity to view the action.

Although prizes will be awarded to the winners of each class, there’ll be a head-to-head final race to determine the overall Tide Ride Champion.
