Young windsurfers start T15 campaign

The south-west's T15 clubs are back in competition this season, with events in both the north and south of the region. Youngsters aged between 7 and 15 have already been taking part in the series, each hoping to be in the winning team that competes in the national final later this year.

Do the Blue Mile

As well as regattas on the Exe and at Portishead Cruising Club, there will be very special event on next weekend - the inaugural Blue Mile event will be taking place in Plymouth, where people can 'swim, paddle or walk a mile for our seas'. The Blue Mile – Race for the Environment is the UK’s newest mass-participation event designed to get you immersed in our wonderful watery environment and raise some money for charity - and Horizons, Plymouth's sailing charity for children, will benefit.
