The Exmoor Beastie 2026 at Wimbleball Sailing Club faces unpredictable weather, featuring minimal wind and sun exposure. The three-hour pursuit race starts slow, with little action in the first hour. As a light breeze picks up, competitors begin to overtake. The safety boat teams enjoy a quiet day, soaking up the sun. Initially, a Firefly leads the race but is ultimately surpassed by Chris Jones in an RS Aero 7. Alan Harris-Guerrero and Chris Dyer, sailing Blazes, also secure top positions. Gemima Ryles claims the top Under 25 prize in her ILCA 6. Competitors demonstrate resilience amid challenging conditions. Thanks to the dedicated volunteers who make this event possible. Final results reflect the determination and skill of all participants.
